On Thursday 14th July 2016 we are hosting the ABC Annual Dinner at The Beacon, Westgate Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE4… UKABC’s work is designed to connect people who can contribute knowledge, access, experience or practical support.

The Council’s role is therefore best understood through the quality of the conversations created and the follow-up those conversations make possible. For businesses and institutions, events in the Partnerships programme provide a structured setting in which to understand priorities before making commitments. Participants can hear different perspectives, test assumptions and identify where a credible introduction may be useful.

This approach is especially important in international work, where local context, trust and clarity often determine whether an initial discussion develops into a sustainable relationship. The programme also contributes to UKABC’s public record. Documenting the people involved, the subjects discussed and the intended outcomes helps future partners understand the Council’s experience.

It gives search engines and readers a clearer account of the organisation’s work while preserving the history of relationships that may continue across several years or projects.
