📍 Arena the hospitality networking association visits Liverpool. For the first time, @Arenanetworking 's Behind the Scenes event took place outside of London- and what a fantastic time we had! Members and guests enjoyed an afternoon of networking and socialising with hospitality professionals, listening to inspiring speakers and a tour of Everton's @EvertonStadium . A few of us also went out in the evening to explore Liverpool. Thanks to the generosity of the attendees, £1.4k was raised for Springboard! A huge thank you to Lorraine Wood and the team at Arena for organising such a brilliant event. We’re incredibly grateful for your support in helping us change lives through hospitality. @Everton Football Club #Arena #Springboard #Hospitality #HospitalityNetworking #Liverpool

🍽️ A thriving hospitality industry means more opportunities for people to build careers, but rising costs are putting increasing pressure on our hotels, pubs, bars, restaurants, cafés and nightclubs. At Springboard, we work every day to help people build skills, gain confidence and access opportunities in hospitality - supporting the industry with the talent it needs for the future. That’s why we’re supporting @UKHofficial #VATsTheProblem campaign and the call for a fairer 10% VAT rate for hospitality. A stronger, more sustainable hospitality sector means more jobs and more opportunities for the people we support. 👉 Sign the petition and support the #VATsTheProblem campaign: vatstheproblem.co.uk #Springboard #Hospitality #HospitalityIndustry #HospitalityJobs #UKHospitality

“Coming back into work as a refugee was not always easy.” For Oksana, returning to work after a career break meant rebuilding her confidence and finding an opportunity where she could show what she could do. The Barclays Destination Hospitality course gave her the practical experience, new skills and support she needed to take that next step. After completing a placement at the @WaldorfHilton_ , Oksana is now working as a Receptionist at @TheDerbyLondonCity. 🌟 A reminder that with the right support, a career break doesn’t have to be the end of your story - it can be the beginning of a fresh start. 💜 👉 Read Oksana’s full story: loom.ly/tSVpE44 #Springboard #ChangingLivesThroughHospitality #HospitalityCareers #SuccessStory
