Organisation for Responsible Businesses “ORB”
Join us online for our monthly networking and discussion event to find out why the founders of The Good Small Business Awards, husband and wife Claire and Garth Dallas, have committed to spotlighting UK micro and small businesses making a positive impact on our planet and doing good business. Explore how these businesses with the smallest footprints are creating ripples that turn into waves of change.
Essentially, join us to debunk the myth that size equates to impact in business. Micro and small businesses might be small in scale, but their actions and lighter tread speak volumes. Join this event to witness the evidence that proves the might of the minnows! Because in our community, even the tiniest sparks ignite the most significant flames of change.
This event is free for ORB members (inc our partner organisation ASP) and £2 for non-members. You will be invited to make an optional charitable donation. We know times are currently challenging for many individuals and businesses.
There will be a ‘prize draw’ and one delegate will have the opportunity to nominate a local charity of their choice to benefit from this month’s
charity pot.
The essence of our events is supporting each other and supporting a better way of doing business. And, as always with our events, we hope to raise funds for local charities, in this instance via the donation option.

The Charity Pot
At each event, we will do a visual draw and the winner of that draw will be able to nominate a local charity of their choice (NOT a national charity) to receive all funds from that event’s charity pot. We will pay funds directly to that charity, normally within 10 days of the event, and details will be recorded on the website.
The Draw Winner
The draw winner will be able to give a 5-minute presentation about their business and, if they wish, tell us a little bit more about their chosen charity.
Rooms
During the course of the event, we may deploy the Room option with delegates allocated to specific rooms of 3 to 5 delegates. Those of you who have attended Zoom meetings utilising this facility will know what a great opportunity this is to get to know more about the delegates in your group.
