We Are Wakefield’s First Friday Networking Event Warms Hearts Despite the Cold

Hello Wakefield!

The 1st March 2024 marked another successful edition of our First Friday Events, this time at Pontefract Town Hall. Despite the chilly morning, the warmth of the We Are Wakefield family shone through as we gathered for our monthly catch-up.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Pontefract Civic Society for hosting us and enlightening us about the incredible work they do for our beloved town. It’s always inspiring to connect with organisations dedicated to making a positive impact on our community.

The event was enriched by Sharon Batty from The Prince of Wales Hospice, who shared an exciting update on the ongoing transformation of the hospice gardens to make them accessible to all patients. It’s heartening to witness such dedication to creating a welcoming space for those in need.

A special shout out to The Caring Kitchen from The Prince of Wales Hospice for catering our breakfast. The hot sandwiches and fruit platters were not only delicious but also a testament to the care and dedication they put into their work. It’s a true pleasure to support local businesses with such a meaningful cause.

The morning was beautifully captured by the talented team at KRA:FT Media. The stunning images from the event can be found by following the link below.

We would also like to express our gratitude to Dan Smith at DSM Productions for accommodating last-minute changes to the tech rider. Your flexibility ensured a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone present.

A big thank you to all who attended – your presence added to the warmth of the event. We’re already looking forward to our next First Friday in April at The Education Exchange in Knottingley. Get booked in, and let’s continue to build connections and foster a supportive community.

Until next time, stay connected, stay warm, and keep making Wakefield an amazing place to be!

Warm regards,

The We Are Wakefield Team
