It is our pleasure to invite you to the launch of the Pioneering Social Enterprise in Hackney Mark hosted by our partners at UBS Bank, at their new premises in 5 Broadgate. 
The Pioneering Social Enterprise in Hackney Mark has developed out of the success of HCD’s Pioneering Social Enterprise in Hackney programme of support and is an award for organisations which are committed to genuine social enterprise principles and can demonstrate a true connection to and benefit for Hackney communities. We believe that the creation of the Mark will help to promote and safeguard the integrity of the social economy in Hackney and protect the term ‘Social Enterprise’ locally.
The event is to be held on Thursday 20th October from 3.30pm - 5pm (registration from 3.00pm) followed by drinks and canapes until 6.30pm. The event will be hosted by the sponsor of the Pioneering Social Enterprise programme, UBS, in their brand new London offices at 5 Broadgate, London, EC2M 2QS. 
Our Speakers include: - Philip Glanville, Mayor of Hackney who will speak about the role social enterprise plays in the borough. - Adam Gardner, Communities Campaigns Manager for The Fairtrade Foundation, will be discussing the importance of a recognisable mark that consumers understand and that is backed up by scrutiny of ethical operation - Sarah Craner, Director, Corporate Responsibility & Community Affairs, UBS, discussing the success of UBS/HCD inter-sector partnership in growing the social economy in Hackney - Kofi Oppong, from Urban MBA as a guest speaker who will be talking about how the Mark will impact his business.

Please note the launch event will follow a Principle 6 Networking Session where participants ask the room for any contacts that would be useful to meet in order to grow their business and the other participants volunteer any useful business referrals that they are in a strong position to make. This session promises to be even more impactful than usual as the 40+ group attending from UBS’ specialist adviser team will be preparing their contacts to offer in advance, based on the results of a short form we are asking attendees to complete. Please register separately for this breakout session here: <A HREF="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/principle-six-networking-event-tickets-28362619358" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer">https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/principle-six-networking-event-tickets-28362619358</A>
