Each year we love to celebrate International Women's Day, as it is such a wonderful opportunity to champion women in the wine industry. We are so proud of our dynamic team and we are continuing to work on our outreach programmes in order to offer apprenticeships, internships and tours to people in all levels of education, with the aim to inspire, break down barriers and make working in the wine industry more accessible.
Last September we were delighted to host a group from Be Inclusive Hospitality's "Thrive in Wine" programme. This informative enrichment event formed part of a wider tour of English vineyards to support the group's wine education journey.
Be Inclusive Hospitality CIC is a not-for-profit organisation, which is building a thriving community to accelerate race equity within hospitality, food, and drink.
This social enterprise drives action through research, empowers its community with funded initiatives, and partners with organisations that commit to fostering inclusion.
Be Inclusive Hospitality's goal is to create a hospitality sector that is equitable and fair for all and to support the upward social mobility of 10,000 Black and ethnic minority employees and 2,000 business owners by 2026.
The theme for International Women's Day 2024 is #InspiringInclusion, we wanted to do something this year to help make a difference in our sector. We have decided to raise funds for Be Inclusive Hospitality, with proceeds from all orders placed from Monday 4 March, until midnight on Monday 11 March 2024 being donated to support this inspiring organisation.
