The Venues Collection has launched the ‘Meetings for Change Plus’ event packages, empowering organisers with options that are not only good for the planet but good for the mind and body too.
The Meetings for Change Plus DDR (Day Delegate Rate) and 24-hour rates include many new healthy elements to enhance the delegate experience, including healthy morning booster shots and nutritionally balanced afternoon bites, plant-based options, dairy free desserts, dishes under 500 calories and carbon labeling on menus.
Jo Austin, sales director, The Venues Collection said: “As we start a new year, the health of individuals and the health of our planet have never been so important. Our Meetings for Change packages have always been good for the planet, but now our new Meetings for Change Plus packages also support the organisers and delegates who are looking for healthier alternatives. We are committed to giving our clients choices; we help to educate and can steer their choices, but nothing is banned! Cookies, treats and indulgent choices are still available to our delegates because some do like to splurge when away from home. Now delegates may choose to have a midmorning health booster or a nutritionally balanced afternoon bite instead.”
The Meetings For Change Plus DDR includes main room hire, morning booster (cookies still available), unlimited tea and coffee, water in meeting rooms and access to hydration stations, buffet lunch (with over 10 dishes under 500 calories, plant forward and dairy free dessert options), carbon labelled menus, nutritionally balanced afternoon bites (treats also available), Wi-Fi, projector and screen, flipchart and pens (on request), stationary boxes and notepads (on request), free onsite parking and an event manager.
As well as great onsite accommodation, the Meetings for Change Plus 24-hour rate includes everything above plus a carbon-labelled three course dinner (with options under 500 calories including plant forward salads and dairy free desserts), and a delicious buffet breakfast with both healthy and indulgent choices.
The offer is valid for events and training sessions booked in the January to March 2024 period.
