Paying it Forward in Business

We are bringing the business community together for Paying it Forward in Business at Norwich Theatre Playhouse. This event, centred around the crucial theme of kindness, aims to explore what paying it forward truly means in practice for the local business community.

The event will feature a series of panel discussions, an exciting guest speaker, and an opportunity to network within the local business economy. Inspiring conversations and providing a platform for learning and sharing findings on how we can create environments where employees thrive, businesses are boosted, and the local community is supported.

Three-panel discussions will be held throughout the day, chaired by Norwich Theatre’s Chief Executive & Creative Director Stephen Crocker and Chairman Tom Sleigh. We will be announcing details of our guest speaker and panellists very soon.

The three panels and some of the headline topics to look out for are:

• Business – exploring corporate social responsibility and business choices for social impact
• People – looking at employee benefits, opportunities, development and retention
• Community – discussing the power of networking, collaborations and partnerships

After three key panels, with some incredible speakers, all guests will then have the opportunity to network and share what they learned from the day.

At the event, there will be a Kindness Wall where attendees can harness the power of kindness in the community. Donations can be made for items listed on the wall, such as tea and cake at Café Royal, a donation to our Christmas Appeal, a family ticket to the panto, and more. All donations will benefit individuals and families within our local community through our charitable work and partners. Further details of the items listed on the wall will be announced on our website in relation to the event.
