We Are Wakefield members and first timers will enjoy breakfast and networking at Camphill Wakefield.

We Are Wakefield – First Friday… on a Monday! Monday 30 March | 9:30am–11:30am | Camphill College Wakefield

Due to the Easter break and Good Friday falling on the first Friday of the month, our First Friday event is taking place on Monday 30 March — same warm welcome, inspiring speakers and great networking… just on a different day!

Join us at Camphill Wakefield Specialist College for a morning of connection, insight and collaboration.

What to Expect

9:30am – Arrival, breakfast & networking
10:00am – We Are Wakefield update
10:10am – Guest speakers: Raph Taylor, Careers Lead, Camphill Wakefield. Gary Morrison, Head of Procurement, Santander UK

Raph and Gary will share how Camphill Wakefield's growing partnership with the Santander UK Procurement team —developed over 18 months—has now expanded onto the national stage. Their collaborative proof-of-concept project is being adopted by other specialist colleges, aligning with Santander’s ESG commitments and supporting a truly mutual, sustainable way of working.

They’ll explore how this partnership benefits Santander, its procurement supply chain (from small local suppliers to large national businesses), and how embedding Equity, Diversity and Inclusion through active participation can deliver huge value and opportunity across organisations.

10:25am–11:30am – Open networking
