Norwich Networking Breakfast – Feb

Written by on .

Our first Norwich Networking Breakfast of 2020 is sure to be a busy one! Get back into the swing of networking at this regular sell out event. It’s the perfect way to catch up with existing contacts and create new ones, all before the working day. You’ll be treated to The Maids Head Hotel excellent breakfast and service whilst you network and hear from a guest speaker. Don’t forget that our team are also at the event to support you. Whether you want introductions to other attendees, or you just have questions about your membership, we’ll be there to help. Our Guest speaker is Cata Parrish, Owner and Director of Resource General Store and Cafe. Cata and her husband established a so called ‘zero waste’ and low impact store, Resource General Store & Cafe in 2019, after years of research and frustration at how difficult it was to live and buy simply, ethically and affordably – despite it being her main priority. Cata also co-runs The Wellhouse Foundation, a movement and nature based initiative supporting children and families to come home to their bodies and the land; to nurture resilience in families, communities and young people through connection with the land around and under us, and the present moment experience .

The title of Cata’s presentation is ‘They really should do something about it: Why waiting for them is getting us further off topic’

I don’t think it’s as bad as all that. Someone should definitely do something. Its pretty shocking. But we recycle. Its quite expensive isn’t it? Don’t worry, they’ll figure it out in time. I’m just too busy for this right now. Ah no, Tesco is just round the corner. I just don’t have the head space for it currently, sorry. They won’t do that. I don’t have time. They won’t let us do that. But we recycle. He definitely won’t do that. Yes but what actual difference does that make? It’s what milk?

Charities, Trading and Social Enterprise – a Price Bailey event for charities and not for profit organisations

Written by on .

Do you know if your charity is trading? What does this mean for your organisation and what reliefs are available? When do you need to think about a trading subsidiary? Would it benefit you more to have a Social Enterprise in your structure?

Most charities are having to be innovative in the ways that they generate income, increasingly generating funds from other sources than donations and varied fundraising activities. Our seminar will outline the basic reliefs and exemptions available to charities that trade, the distinction between primary purpose trading and other trading and pointers to consider as to why and when to use a trading subsidiary.

This event will be of particular interest to those charities that have, or are considering operating a trading subsidiary or expanding their current activities to include a social enterprise, especially those involved in the management of a charity or not-for-profit organisation including academy schools.

Helena Wilkinson, partner and head of Price Bailey’s Charities & NFP group will lead the seminar, after which you are welcome to stay for networking and to ask any additional questions of Helena, Daren Moore (Norwich office partner) and other members of our team.

The Food Information Regulations 2014-How will your business comply?

Written by on .

The new Food Information Regulations come into force on December 13th 2014 and will require allergy information to be provided on non pre-packed foods including those sold in Catering & Licensed businesses such as pubs, hotels, restaurants, take-aways, staff canteens and cafés. In addition foods supplied at events will also be covered, e.g. wedding buffets. Under the rules, the 14 food allergens listed in the Regulation, including peanuts, milk, eggs and cereals containing gluten, will need to be specifically highlighted to customers.

The purpose of the Regulations is to reduce the incidence of allergen adverse reaction by consumers eating undeclared allergens. Food Business Operators will be able to provide allergy information in the ways that best suit their individual business. Some businesses will have fixed menus, others menus that are changing frequently. The provision of information on a menu, a chalkboard or as part of a conversation with staff will secure compliance with the Regulations.

We are running this 2 hour seminar to help you comply with the regulations

Sarah Daniels is part of the team who has rolled out training an behalf of the Food Standards Agency and the Chartered Institure of Environmental Health to enforcement officers from Local Authority Environmental Health Officers and County Council Trading Standards Officers

She is best placed to give you update to date, sensible advice on how to realistically comply with the new regulations

Sarah & the team at the RedCat Partnership Ltd successfully help local businesses with their Food Safety Management, which includes Allergen control
