On Thursday 13th June The Priory Rooms exhibited at the Social Enterprise West Midlands (SEWM) Social Value Conference. The conference brought together local social enterprises with a variety of public sector representatives. The aim was to showcase the diverse and successful range of West Midlands’ social enterprises.

Centre Manager Andrew Callan and Business Development Manager Beth Reynolds spent the day representing The Priory Rooms, a not-for-profit meeting and conference centre. Numerous delegates were interested in the great mix of modern facilities, city-centre venue and social values provided.

Delegates were impressed by the beautiful 1930’s building original features and sympathetic modern upgrades, surrounded by Terraced Gardens. Many were surprised to hear The Priory Rooms offered a venue for large conferences of up to 180 people.

Andrew and Beth explained that all of The Priory Rooms profits go to the Central England Quakers who support the charities Northfield Eco-Centre, West Midlands Quaker Peace Project and Uganda Hope Project.

Great Value doesn’t necessarily mean Good Value!

Nick Hurd MP opened the conference recognising the growing partnership between Think Venue and Birmingham City Council. The Council now regularly used Think Venue, a free third sector venue finding agency, to book their meeting and conference rooms. The Council has shown an increasing commitment to booking third sector venues as part of their social responsibility. Nick Hurd used the example to highlight that low cost products do not always mean good value and instead perhaps we should invest in the product which provides not only an exceptional service but also social value.
