Founded in 2017, The Lunchtime Circle is a think tank and mentoring club, which aims to provide valuable insights, feedback, ideas, and mentoring to charities, social enterprises and emerging leaders who want to do good in the world. All over lunch.

We gather a select group of leaders, business people, professional people, coaches, mentors and creatives who all want to get involved and help in some way. We match these with charities and social enterprises who come with a problem or challenge. And we brainstorm and ideate. All over lunch.

We all want better balance in our lives. But that shouldn’t mean we have to be robots. Wake, work, eat, work, sleep. We may want to volunteer. We may have great ideas, contacts, and a desire to help but cannot commit to a board, or long term volunteering. Some people don’t want to attend 7AM meetings or 7PM networking to build their connections and get ahead. We want to enable people to grow, develop and share their know-how all over lunch. TLC runs from 12-2.

Focus Ireland, Turn2Me, Dress for Success Dublin, Cycle Against Suicide, An Cosán, Look Good Feel Better, The Sanctuary, National Maternity Hospital Foundation, Mental Health Ireland, Cubbie, and over 40 leaders have been mentored - all for free - all over lunch.

Lisa-Nicole Dunne founded The Lunchtime Circle supported by an amazing steering committee, her sister Tracey Campbell-Devery (JP Morgan), Kyla O’Kelly (Javelin), David Duggan (Below-the-Line), Elaine O’Rourke (Microsoft), and Natalie Bagnall (The Selling Labs). Our events have been supported by Facebook, JP Morgan, and other leading corporates.
