Curious About Socially Trading Organisations?

This free online session hosted by Curious Minds and Kindred will take a closer look at the subject of socially trading organisations.

We will cover:

• What is Kindred and why does it exist?
• What is a Socially Trading Organisation?
• How Kindred values "Social Value"
• How Kindred invests - The 5 tests and more...

Facilitated by Nicola Higham, Collaborating Communities Manager at Kindred CIC based in Liverpool, the session will share information about Kindred's work, including who they work with and how they invest in socially trading organisations in the Liverpool city region. During the session, Nicola will also work with you to reflect on how you can collaborate, trade and demonstrate your investment readiness as a practitioner or organisation.
