Sustainability and Horizon Leeds
When we say that we are passionate about sustainability and the legacy we create, we mean it.
Fed up with the lack of digital-led venues in Leeds, The NHS Alliance realised that the only way to achieve what they needed was to pay through the nose to bring all the tech into hotel rooms, or do it themselves. So, when the third floor of Brewery Wharf, Leeds, became available, the chance to create something which could support the Alliance’s work, and the wider healthcare industry, became a reality. With many ideas on the drawing board, sustainability was already at the heart of the development process for the venue.
The NHS Alliance is the independent membership body that represents and supports the health and care system in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The NHS Alliance represent, strengthen and support providers and commissioners of NHS care so that the NHS performs at its best and improves patient care across the UK – representing frontline reality to government, shaping policy and building capability. We work across the whole NHS as well as within its individual sectors.
Opening our event venue and facilities to all businesses, whilst ensuring rates remain low for healthcare providers, is a win-win. Businesses can hold events at Horizon Leeds, knowing it contributes to their own sustainability and corporate social responsibility goals. Plus, every pound they spend contributes to supporting The NHS Alliance.
