What?

Lunchworks is a series of thought-provoking talks in Manchester’s Northern Quarter for socially motivated organisations.

...with a tasty, local lunch.

Why?

We want to bring original and inspiring speakers together with socially motivated organisations to discuss ideas and explore new possibilities over lunch. It's a creative response to today's challenges and opportunities.

Who?

Lunchworks is a collaborative project by Dovetail & Reason Digital, two Manchester based social enterprises working with organisations and individuals aiming to make a difference.

Food for thought is all very well, but what about food for lunch?
