Creating Connections
Opportunities are a great way for you to connect with others making a social impact. This function allows you to promote your activities to the Chamber's network of contacts. Not-for-profits, charities or individuals aiming to promote a good cause can request help from these businesses by emailing their opportunity or requests to marketing@wnychamber.co.uk
Awards Recognition
Annually, the Raising the Bar Awards is the highlight of the business calendar. This is our way of rewarding you for your hard work; making social impact happen. We want to see you making real change in your local area by: taking part in charity work, supporting and investing in the community, or partnering with other members working on similar projects.
Promoting Your Social Impact
Share your social impact stories with Chamber members and the wider business community through the Promotion Bundle, with articles published on the website and potential inclusion in our quarterly magazine. Anything from successfully completed programs or updates on a project you're working on, we want to promote and share your work.

Social Impact for Business
Raising the Bar is a Chamber-run business initiative. Our focus is to help develop, implement, and sustain social impact programs in our regional area. The West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce aims to bring our members together, to partner up and go above and beyond to serve the community you operate in. Whether this is done through fundraising, donations or employee volunteering opportunities, we want to see the change you’re making.
