South Tyneside charity champion Wayne Groves to share mental health insights at business networking event
The event is being organised by South Tyneside businesswomen Kaye Nicholson and Sinia Jazwi, with tickets costing from £8.50.
A networking business event featuring a renowned South Tyneside charity champion is on a countdown to success.
Wayne Groves, 47, is the special guest at the Not All Women Wear Capes: Movember Special on Wednesday, November 4.
He will give attendees his expert insight into how operating an enterprise can bring its mental health challenges.
His analysis is based on his experience of launching and running the borough-based Red Bench Project, a suicide prevention charity.
It places benches at locations known to attract people in distress, creating a safe space where they can sit and reflect and even receive intervention support.
The networking get-together is at the Vigilant Inn at Harton Village, South Shields, from 9am to 11am.
It has been organised by South Tyneside businesswomen Kaye Nicholson and Sinia Jazwi.
Kaye runs GrowthZoneAI, which helps businesses use AI in simple and practical ways, while Sinia operates the Vigilant Inn and one other outlet.
They began working together in response to what they say is a lack of opportunities for businesspeople to meet to discuss how they can support each other for the benefit of all.
The Vigilant Inn event is the latest of several well-received business networking days they have held over the past year.
In a break with tradition, their usually women-only event is also open to men looking to gain advice and guidance around their businesses.
Included in the ticket-only offering is a buffet breakfast and tea and coffee. Tickets cost £8.50 early bird, or £10.
