HUM4NS began life as a series of talks among entrepreneurs, providing them with a platform to step out from behind ‘what they do’ and venture into the ‘who I am, what holds me back and how I moved forward’.
HUM4NS provided a platform for ordinary people to share Honest, Uplifting, Motivational, Aspirational, Nourishment for the Soul, inspiring others to take action and build towards achieving their own dreams.
Stepping into a brave new world and opening ourselves up to a new audience, HUM4NS has a simple but important quest; to help the world be a happier, healthier, smarter and kinder place, by providing a place for people to learn, grow and develop.
On the night, you can expect:
– Celebrating HUM4NS
– HUM4NS talks
– Networking/drinks
– Awesome people!

Taking place at the Winter Gardens, our first event of the year is with Paralympic champion, Andy Lewis MBE!
Andy is not just an inspirational speaker about Mental Health and Wellbeing, but he is also a multi winning GOLD medallist in one of the toughest sports in the world, paratriathlon.
Having had ADHD, dyslexia and heightened anxiety for most of his life – things reached breaking point in 2007 when everything came to a head.
Andy will be using his life experiences and adversities to create a powerful message for NextGen. He will be sharing his ‘highs and lows’ including his success in sport but also his mental health and nearly losing his wife and children through pushing himself to the limits.
This is one that you won’t want to miss, so book your place today to avoid missing out!
NextGen events are typically attended by over 100 people, providing a fantastic opportunity to network with like-minded professionals from North Somerset and beyond who want to build valuable connections.
