Be Involved supporters in Horton Grange have rallied to support the new BizFizz programme. BizFizz is an innovative programme for entrepreneurs focusing on start-ups, micro and small enterprises in areas experiencing economic disadvantage. It turns the passion and enthusiasm of individuals into a driving force for local economic renewal by mobilising the skills and resources within communities.
A team of 20 volunteers from Royal Bank of Scotland Commercial Division in Bradford undertook a team challenge at the Bangladeshi Community Centre in Keighley on the 6th September. RBS staff worked with local volunteers to clear and improve the outside areas of the building and redecorated the reception area in preparation for the unveiling of a new monument in October .
Be Involved has now been officially launched. The event was held on Tuesday 17/07/2007 at the Norcroft Centre at the University of Bradford.
The launch was a very succesful event attended by over 100 businesses, representing businesses of all sizes.
As part of the launch of the 'Be Involved' initiative a new website has been developed that allows businesses to see at a glance what opportunities are available for their organisation to be involved in. The website contains a 'Menu of Opportunities' split into key areas. This can help organisations to get involved in a wide range of community schemes that previously they may not have known existed. There are genuine business benefits from being involved and these are highlighted on the Why Be Involved Page.
