Supporting Scottish business and entrepreneurship globally. Through SBN we have found our architects, tartan designers & IT consultants to name a few. SBN have believed in our mission since we connected in 2017, forming a partnership to last through challenging times and business as usual. SBN enjoy hosting events at LSH and appreciate the benefits of affordable office space in London.
Connecting and engaging people through sport is a founding principle of our mission. The London Scottish communities are deeply interwoven and long lasting. Our partnership allows LSR to support our community from the grassroots to the professional game whilst allowing LSH to support the wider community.
For LSH, Community means people, place and identity. For Prickly Thistle, this is at the heart of everything they do.
