As CEO of AudioActive, he’s launched life-changing initiatives like Break4Change, a child-to-parent violence intervention that was replicated across the UK and Europe. He also co-founded rap-based mental health programme Room to Rant.

Last year, he was one of only seven people nationally working in the arts and film in the UK to be honoured as a “Game Changer” by The National Lottery. It reflected the extraordinary things he’d achieved with lottery funding.

All this comes at a time of rapidly disappearing youth services, though in bucking the trend AudioActive has faced many challenges. Chief of these was the loss, in 2023, of its much-loved Brighton Hub 'Bottega Rooms' when the building was sold to be turned into flats.

At our breakfast Adam, will reveal how AudioActive has managed to thrive in these challenging times and how local businesses can support them. He’ll also reveal plans to link up with East Brighton Trust to transform Moulsecoomb Manor into a creative production hub for young people and young adults.

Annabel Dunstan from Question & Retain will be interviewing Adam live. We hope to see you there. If you buy a ticket, it will be music to our ears!

About this event

The Chamber’s monthly Breakfast at Bill’s is very popular, so you’ll need to book early.

50 to 80 business people from Brighton and the surrounding areas come together to meet, eat and network on the fourth Friday of each month*.

There is a wide range of people who attend from all sectors and all sizes. From sole traders and start-ups to some of the biggest businesses in the city.

Each month there is a guest speaker, who'll talk about their own experiences of running a business and their own personal journey.

What you can expect:

• Make new connections through informal networking.
• Hear from a brilliant speaker, who'll talk us through their personal and business story, the highs, and the lows.
• Enjoy breakfast with like-minded people.
• No need to pitch, as we can make an introduction if there’s someone you’d like to meet.
• Find new local customers and suppliers.
