After the showcase, the celebration will continue with the Partnership’s monthly Green Mingle. This is a networking event for individuals and organisations to connect, share ideas, and learn. Presenters from the showcase will have stalls so you can talk and learn more. The Green Mingle is in person only. Book a place for the Green Mingle.
