TBN’s role Mobilise and resource the business community: •  Inspire •  Engage •  Support


Inspire – Transformational Entrepreneurs Network, Uganda


Inspire – London Conference

“Many thanks for an awesome conference. The range of speakers and content was spot on and it was the best TBN event I have been to yet!! “

“Truly inspirational, beautiful collection of stories and voices. Highlight of the year so far.”


Inspire – TBN Gulf “The TBN [Gulf] event has served as a dynamic and compelling starting point which has greatly expanded my mind of what is possible in the African continent. TBN is definitely an organization that stands tall among those that wish to seek a fundamental transformation in the way business is conducted.”


Engage – Expos •  Uganda •  Kenya •  Zimbabwe •  South Africa /

Engage – eNews

Support – Mentoring Training Day “The models and tools shared were excellent and gold in themselves; the use of action exercises and theory was well balanced.”

-15,536 To be covered by £19k reserves


Financial Summary •  Last year we planned to cover an anticipated £3600 loss

from £14k reserves but in fact reserves increased. •  We aim is to be fully self sufficient at a much higher level of

activity but have not been successful in attracting funding to achieve this and will therefore invest reserves.

•  This year we anticipate a £3k operational loss with new staff, £15k after Web investment and loan repayment, but this assumes no growth.

•  Additional staff hours will release time to take a more proactive role in supporting Partners, Project Managers, Expo Leaders etc., as well as finding new members to bring the budget back into balance.


Member Action!

Need: more members in order to offer the level of membership support we believe is needed

Therefore help us to help you: •  Set up a presentation •  Upgrade to Partner •  Take other people on your trips

AND keep using your business skills to alleviate poverty!
