2023 Events

Bank of England Dinner

On the 2nd March, we were hosted by the Bank of England at a private dinner for 100 people who generously contributed £200,000 towards Tusk’s newly launched Collaboration Fund, a unique and innovative fund designed to stimulate sharing solutions and seeding ideas based upon greater collaboration. Guests enjoyed a Champagne reception, dinner and a speech by Sir Alok Sharma MP, followed by a recital by Gerald Finley CBE. Many thanks to Tusk Trustee Jill May and Deputy Governor of The Bank of England, Jon Cunliffe for making this event possible.
