✨It's that time of year again... Alacrity and Business in the Community are collecting gifts for children between the ages of 0-16 in #Newport who wouldn't ordinarily receive a present at Christmas. We are reaching out to our network, to ask if you could please spare a gift or selection box to be donated. Alternatively, if you'd prefer to contribute your donation will enable us to acquire new gifts on your behalf 👉https://lnkd.in/eXNXa-pa Last year, we gifted 1200 presents, raised £4480 and supported 6 charities. This year, we aim to beat this! We would be extremely grateful for any support. Gift drop off: Alacrity House, Kingsway, Newport, NP20 1HG If you're unable to get to us, we can also come to you! (contact lthomas@alacrityfoundation.com Lauren Thomas) Please share this with your network or friends and family, to help us accomplish this goal⭐️ #christmaspresentdrive #businessinthecommunity #bitc #alacrityuk
About us
The Alacrity Foundation is a registered charity which was set up by a collaboration between the Welsh Government, The Waterloo Foundation and Wesley Clover Corporation. The Foundation provides budding entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts with practical business training and mentorship, so they can develop as entrepreneurs and launch their own UK based demand-driven digital company. Alacrity offers a 12 month paid programme which pairs like-minded individuals into start-up teams and matches them with demand driven opportunities which are sourced from strategic partners. The intent is for each team to create products and services which address nascent market needs and match significant customer demands. We have over 90 of the most expert businessmen & women that act as mentors and pass on their knowledge & experience. When they are successful teams get the opportunity to own and run their business. Our aim is to create the next generation of digital entrepreneurs based in Wales🏴
