"A truly effective networking group - friendly - incredibly well run and chaired - allowing plenty of time for getting know others and promoting what you do!  As a charity we have benefitted hugely from our association with Renaissance - who put charitable efforts up front as one of their aims.  Support comes in the form of events, time and donations.  On a personal level I have been newly welcomed into the group and made to feel right at home.  I should also mention the great venues Norfolf Royale and The Greenhouse - who look after us with amazing hospitality every month."  Steve Mills, Fundraising for Julia's House, the Dorset Children's Hospice
