Saffron Sessions – Spooky Special

These relaxed, informal sessions are the perfect place to connect, chat, and share ideas with other local businesses. There’s no pressure – just good coffee and great conversation.

Working Together Across Cornwall

We’re also actively involved in community initiatives and partnerships across the region – from delivering pre-employment programmes in towns like Bude, Bodmin, and Penzance, to supporting inclusive projects that empower individuals through training.

It all starts with community.
We believe business thrives on collaboration, not competition. Saffron Academy is proud to be part of a wider movement in Cornwall that champions connection, shared growth, and mutual support. Whether we’re running our own networking events or joining others across the county, our focus is always on people — helping individuals and businesses build lasting relationships that make a difference.

While we love hosting our own networking sessions, we also encourage exploring the many brilliant business communities that Cornwall has to offer. There’s so much happening across the region — and the more we show up for each other, the stronger we all become.

Here are just a few other fantastic networks and groups worth connecting with:

  • Cornwall Chamber of Commerce – A leading voice for Cornish business, offering training, events, and support for businesses of all sizes.
  • Girls in Cornwall – A vibrant social and business network empowering women across Cornwall with relaxed meet-ups and inspiring events.
  • Your Partnerships – A friendly and accessible networking community with events across the South West, both online and in-person.
  • FSB Cornwall (Federation of Small Businesses) – Advocating for small business success through practical support, advice, and networking.
  • Cornwall Innovation – Home to innovative businesses and collaborative events, with hubs in Pool, Truro, and Penryn.
  • Cornwall Business Community (Facebook Group) – An active online space for local business owners to share ideas, opportunities, and support.
  • Inspire Cornwall CIC – Focused on building stronger communities through support and inclusive engagement, particularly for families.
  • Outset Cornwall – Providing expert advice, training, and start-up support for entrepreneurs across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
