Progress means more when it creates a path for someone else.
FFG Community is how Forbes Family Group puts social impact into practice.
We bring together people, organisations and resources to provide practical support and help more people access opportunities.
The Community arm is being set up as a Community Interest Company, giving this work its own clear structure and long-term focus.
We understand why access matters.
Our own experiences have shaped this work. We know what it is like when support, opportunities and the right networks are difficult to reach.
That is why we work directly with people and organisations that already understand their communities. We listen to what is needed and help where we can be useful.
Our work has included food parcels, school uniforms, mentoring, fundraising, community partnerships and Radar, our flagship community event.
One day can change what happens next.
Radar is a free event that brings hundreds of ambitious people together for a day of learning, introductions and new opportunities.
People can meet business leaders, founders, mentors and organisations they may not normally have the chance to reach.
For some, Radar is their first experience of Forbes Family Group. For others, one conversation or introduction can lead to something much bigger.
