The Community Foundation for Lancashire has welcomed Karen Tems as one of its newest Ambassadors, bringing a wealth of experience in connecting businesses across the county. Karen will help raise awareness of the Foundation’s work and encourage more local businesses to invest in the communities where they operate. 

Ambassadors play a vital role in championing grassroots charities and connecting the Foundation with people who share its ambition for a stronger Lancashire. Karen’s network and long-standing support make her ideally placed to do just that. 

As Director of The Business Network Central & East Lancashire, a business to business networking organisation, Karen hosts monthly events bringing together business owners and senior decision makers who want to promote their companies in the Lancashire area. 

Ideally placed to promote the many benefits of CFL across the county. 

As a LIiC of many years, Karen knows first hand the ‘win/win/win’. 

Lancashire Investors in Community (LIiC) is the Foundation’s group of local businesses and individuals who commit to supporting charities and community groups in their own area. For Karen, that support has been a constant for many years, which gives her a genuine understanding of what membership offers businesses and communities alike. 

With monthly events that bring together business owners and senior decision makers, Karen is in a unique position to start conversations about giving back. Her role as Ambassador will help open doors between Lancashire’s business community and the charities doing vital work on the ground.
