Our 2025 Charity of the Year: The Bath Rugby Foundation

We are incredibly proud to announce our chosen Charity of the Year for 2025: The Bath Rugby Foundation. This extraordinary organisation, led by former England rugby star David Trick, is dedicated to transforming the lives of young people in and around Bath who are facing adversity. Through a combination of sport, education, and personal development, the Foundation helps vulnerable individuals gain confidence, develop essential life skills, and build a brighter future. Supporting this cause allows us not only to invest in future generations but also to align ourselves with a mission that reflects our own values of empowerment, community upliftment, and sustainable impact.

Giving Back to the City That Inspires Us

At Calibre 100, we believe that true success extends far beyond revenue, recognition, or business milestones. It’s also about creating a lasting, positive impact in the communities that help shape and support us. Our home city of Bath is more than just a location, it’s the foundation of our identity, and we are committed to giving something meaningful back. That’s why we proudly pledge 3% of our annual profits to charitable causes. This isn’t a marketing initiative; it’s a heartfelt promise rooted in gratitude, responsibility, and our desire to be part of something greater than ourselves.

A Network That Gives

At the heart of Calibre 100 lies a deep commitment to collaboration, trust, and shared growth. We believe that when individuals with aligned values come together in a supportive environment, the results are powerful and far-reaching. Our network thrives not just because of commercial opportunity, but because our members genuinely care about the people around them. As introductions are made and referrals exchanged, we encourage members to consider how their success can create a ripple effect—benefiting not only their own business but also the person who helped make the opportunity possible. Whether this is through a referral fee or simply a thoughtful thank-you, the emphasis is always on building sincere, lasting connections.

Supporting Charity Through Referrals

For those members who do operate a referral fee system as part of their business model, we offer a wonderful opportunity to transform that financial reward into something even more impactful. Referral fees can be voluntarily donated to our Charity of the Year, The Bath Rugby Foundation, allowing that success to extend even further—into the lives of young people who need support and inspiration. Alternatively, if a member’s business is already committed to supporting another cause, we fully encourage those donations to go to a charity of their choice. It’s about creating flexibility in how we give, while always maintaining a strong focus on purpose-driven success. Every introduction made, every referral shared, becomes a chance to contribute meaningfully to something bigger than ourselves.

Building More Than Just Businesses

Calibre 100 is more than a networking group—it’s a movement of like-minded professionals, leaders, and visionaries who want to grow their businesses while remaining grounded in values that matter. Whether you’re motivated by generosity, inspired by community, or simply believe in doing business the right way, we welcome you. We are here for those who want to make connections that matter, who believe in giving without expecting, and who understand that real success is measured not just by what we gain, but by what we give back.

Redefining Success Through Social Impact

We invite you to become part of something truly meaningful. Join us in networking with purpose—where relationships matter, values lead the way, and every connection has the potential to spark real change. At Calibre 100, we are not just focused on business growth for its own sake; we are building a trusted community of leaders who care about impact, integrity, and leaving a positive legacy. Together, we’re creating more than opportunities—we’re shaping a stronger, more connected, and more compassionate Bath. One conversation, one collaboration, and one purposeful introduction at a time.

Bringing It All Together

In summary, Calibre 100 is more than just a networking group – it’s a community of purpose-driven professionals committed to making a difference. Through trusted relationships, shared success, and a deep sense of responsibility to our city, we’re creating a network where values and vision go hand in hand. Whether it’s supporting local charities, making meaningful introductions, or simply doing business with integrity, every member plays a role in shaping a better future for Bath. Join us, and be part of something greater.
