Summer at Sister! ☀️

We loved our Summer BBQ last week, bringing the Sister and Sustainable Ventures community together to relax and catch up.

From a live DJ and delicious food to penalty shootouts and painting – It was a fantastic opportunity to unwind and celebrate the summer season. Gatherings like this are perfect for bringing our community together to network, meet like-minded people, and make new connections.

A huge thanks to everyone who made it possible! Thank you to Dumpling and Ting for the fantastic food, A few scoops ice cream for the incredible desserts, and DJ Dom for keeping the reggae tunes going! 🕶️🎶

Thank you to everyone who joined us.
