Wellcome Trust Trading, which encompasses Wellcome Collection has gift aided in excess of £1million over the past few years to the Wellcome Trust.
Wellcome Collection, a unique gallery and events venue was established by the Wellcome Trust, an independent charitable foundation which funds worldwide health projects. All profits from the Wellcome Collection Conference Centre are gift aided back to the Wellcome Trust.
Wellcome Collection are encouraging the wider event planning community to see how booking a meeting or event in the Wellcome Conference Centre can play an active role in giving something back to the community and fulfil CSR requirements.
The Conference Centre contains a range of purpose-built conference and event spaces, from a boardroom for 12 to our stunning tiered auditorium for 154 delegates; in addition, Wellcome Collection’s Medicine Now gallery can be transformed into a unique setting for a drinks reception for up to 200 people. Favourable rates are also available for those events that aim to further biomedical research, the medical humanities and related public engagement activities, where the results are made public.
Rachel Cordier, conference centre manager, Wellcome Conference Centres said: “We really want to help event bookers in their decision to use a different venue by boosting awareness of the CSR benefits associated with these bookings. In line with the recent incentive introduced by Lime Venue Portfolio, reducing ‘guilt’ for event bookers has never been easier thanks to the Wellcome Conference Centre and its niche sector of venues who are charitable to the core and who readily demonstrate corporate social responsibility.”
