Bridging Communities: Dumfries & Galloway

  • The Stove Network 100 High Street Dumfries, Scotland, DG1 2BJ United Kingdom (map)

Following seven sell-out events across Glasgow, Edinburgh and the Highlands, The Melting Pot is excited to announce we are coming to Dumfries & Galloway for a cross-sector networking event. Our aim? To help bridge communities to spark new connections and collaborations.

For our hosts, Helen, Jess and Anna, community is their guiding light. They've experienced firsthand the power of community in offering advice, support, inspiration and celebration. Now, they're bringing this spirit to Dumfries & Galloway.

In a world where it's easy to remain within our comfort zones, stepping out is where the magic happens. New people, new perspectives: these chance connections are our opportunity to spark ideas, solve challenges and innovate through the collision of perspectives.

In our first Dumfries & Galloway event, we will explore what community means to us all. You'll hear from our speakers about their experiences with their communities, their journeys in life and work and the lessons they've learned along the way.

Join us on the 13th March for your chance to gain new insights, develop connections, spark ideas and step out of our silo's.


What to expect:

  • Hear from cross-sector experts about how to unlock the transformative power of cross-community collaboration

  • Learn about the different business communities in Dumfries & Galloway

  • Share your business passions with like-minded people

  • Engage in facilitated, purposeful networking

  • Connect with peers and new friends in a casual setting

  • Share an ask or a project you’re excited about with the community
