We collect information about our members and suppliers so that we can effectively deliver our services, including the administration of meetings and one to one sessions, preparation and follow up of facilitator/speaker sessions and to progress any membership enquiries received.  We may also use personally identifiable data and images on our website and social media platforms to share our member experiences.  

What is our lawful basis for processing your personal data?
