LONDON – 26 September 2024

ConnectUW to host charity gala dinner with The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women to support women entrepreneurs around the world

On October 14th 2024, ConnectUW Holdings will hold a charity gala dinner to support The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women, which supports women entrepreneurs in low and middle income countries to start, sustain and grow successful businesses.

The gala will be supported by leading London Market companies and held at the prestigious Institute of Directors headquarters in Pall Mall, London on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of GBN Worldwide, the world’s insurance network.

Cherie Blair CBE KC will attend in person to share the inspirational work of the Foundation with attendees. In partnership with companies such as ConnectUW, the Foundation is working to eliminate barriers to entrepreneurship for women, enabling women’s economic justice.

Insurance professionals from across the globe and the London Market will attend to join ConnectUW in support of the Foundation’s crucial work.

Jamil Elbahou, CEO of ConnectUW and Chairman of GBN Worldwide said: “Empowering women across the globe is a cause and mission closely aligned with our philosophy and we hope the charity gala with The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women will be the first of many to come. Across the world, women are still being held back, short changed and denied the ability to succeed. We look forward to supporting them through The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women and to welcoming GBN members to London to celebrate the network’s 10th anniversary and thank them for supporting this hugely worthwhile cause.

I also want to thank the priceless support of the other firms in the London Market who have agreed to join the cause with our aspirations for this to become an annual charity event in the insurance calendar.
