As we head further into , our planning is well under way as we support the organisers of Notts Pride with this year's event in celebration of the LGBTQ+ community.

For the past five years, we have been supporting Nottinghamshire Pride from our HQ with pre-event planning, including press content, journalist liaison, social and website management, and on-the-ground support on the day - to help get the Pride message of inclusivity and community out to as many people as possible. This year will be no different with Nottinghamshire Pride set to be bigger and better than ever.

Our support of the LGBTQ+ community through our work with Pride is one of many elements of support for the community that we champion all year round as part of our wider ESG commitment.

We're a week away from the launch of London.

PIP - People In Property / Property Network London is one of the city's best free-to-attend networking events.

The event starts at 5.30pm at The Building Society - 55 Whitfield St, London W1T 4AH. We look forward to seeing you on the 26th June.

We’re racing a course of 250m across three races as we compete to be crowned Dragon Boat champion 2024!

The event will be held on Sunday 4 August in partnership with The Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance, one of the UK’s leading helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) charities. The organisation is funded purely by the generosity of supporters in the community, with each mission costing on average average £4,000. It has a fundraising target of more than £10m for 2024.

Our senior account executive Dominic was at the International Bomber Command Centre for its 80th anniversary of D-Day celebrations, supporting with press activity and social media content.

The IBCC is located in Lincolnshire and memorialises those who gave their lives in Bomber Command during the Second World War, and a place to remember, recognise, and reconcile its history and actions that have provided the freedom we all enjoy today.

Around the IBCC's iconic spire, almost 58,000 names of those who gave their lives have been immortalised in steel panels. This is the only place in the world where these losses have been commemorated.

To commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the IBCC hosted a series of lectures and a briefing describing Bomber Command's crucial part in the operation's success, as well as hundreds making camp in its sunny amphitheatre for a concert from The Blighty Belles, the professional vintage vocal group.

Our director and ESG lead Fran recently joined a judging panel at Nottingham College as students presented a campaign or business venture in a bid to win a £500 prize fund.

The five shortlisted groups of level three business students produced ideas addressing a real-world ESG issue as part of their personal and social development programme.

The winning team’s creative PR stunt to educate and encourage students about the importance of recycling impressed the judges and will now be put into action.
