CEF Annual Lunch December 2025

This year’s event will celebrate a significant PEACEPLUS funding award to CEF working with Co-operation Ireland for the Leading with Peace and Purpose Project. The partnership will develop and deliver a cross-border leadership development programme to build capacity for senior public service and civic leaders.

The project will support leaders in delivering the transformation and renewal in public services required to meet the ever more complex needs of service users and communities.

This event will include a keynote address on our theme from Co-operation Ireland’s Chair, Sir Julian King GCMG KCVO, drawing on his extensive diplomatic experience including serving as UK Ambassador to Ireland and as the UK’s last EU Commissioner before the UK’s exit from the EU.

*Please note, this event is for invited guests only*
