Heart of the Community, ACS’ biggest political event of the year, takes place in just three weeks on the 9th July at the House of Commons Terrace Pavilion.
Join us for an exclusive parliamentary reception and:
- Be one of the first to engage with newly elected Members of Parliament
- Advocate for local shops and highlight the critical role that retailers play in their communities
- Discuss what local shops want from the new Government
Heart of the Community aims to connect retailers with senior policymakers and politicians to discuss the impact of the political landscape on convenience stores, both now and in the future. Following the general election which will take place on 4th July, this event will provide a great opportunity for you to meet the newest Members of Parliament, share the services that you provide to local communities, and discuss issues that affect your stores.
The reception will feature a speech from a high-profile MP, and there will also be a ‘partner hub’ where you can access advice, best practice, and essential information about supporting your colleagues.
Make sure you secure your spot for the chance to build meaningful relationships with key political figures that will be working hard to ensure your voice is heard in Parliament. You can book your place here.
The ACS Election Centre will be covering all the latest news regarding the General Election, including a summary of the manifestos. We’ve also released a new episode of the Local Shop Podcast where we talk about the manifestos, what they mean for the convenience sector, and why they matter to the next Government.
