Conference centre announces new charity partner
The Derby Conference Centre has announced a new partnership with Bridge the Gap – a charity which supports children with early intervention and emotional education.
It has become the venue’s latest charity partner following a recent meeting between the centre’s team and the charity’s leadership.
The meeting provided a valuable insight into Bridge the Gap’s mission and the people it supports, including its work to improve emotional literacy for children through in school sessions, while helping families access the support they need.

Sammie O’Neill, marketing manager at The Derby Conference Centre, said: “It was a pleasure to meet Nikki and Jen and hear first-hand about the incredible work Bridge the Gap is doing.
“Their passion and commitment really stood out, and it was clear from the outset that this is a partnership where we can genuinely make an impact together.”
As part of the collaboration, The Derby Conference Centre will be supporting Bridge the Gap through a range of initiatives across the year, including fundraising activity, awareness campaigns and event support.
One of the first opportunities to collaborate will be at the upcoming Marketing Derby event taking place at the London Road venue on 19 May.
