About his involvement in the Norwich Place Programme, he says: “Business in the Community has amplified the debate about our social issues, often championed by the voluntary sector. We’ve had the opportunity to highlight our own charity mission and values to other local organisations and joined many partnership initiatives that have changed people’s lives and delivered strong social return. Combining energy and resources has helped influence local policy – and long may it continue.”
