The Business Collective brings together organisations that want to strengthen their networks, invest in workplace wellbeing and support the vital work of Keech.

The initiative offers businesses the opportunity to attend a number of events each year featuring inspiring guest speakers. There will also be networking opportunities and practical learning around topics including bereavement and compassion in the workplace, volunteering, and employee wellbeing. All events take place at Keech Luton site so there is always an opportunity to meet the people that make the difference in the hospice and see the impact first hand.

Membership is designed to be mutually beneficial, giving businesses a platform to collaborate, forge connections and innovate. It also enables them to demonstrate their social values through aligning with a much-loved local charity that supports people of all ages with life-limiting conditions across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Milton Keynes.
