We’ve teamed up with Goodsted and The Impact Founders to host an online event for the social entrepreneurship community to get together to co-create innovative new solutions to social and environmental problems.

We believe the best way for change-makers to overcome challenges is peer-to-peer learning and getting creative together. We invite you to get stuck in with us to collaborate with our curated panel of leading entrepreneurs at this next co-creation session.

Event Format:

1. Four leading social entrepreneurs will tell us about their enterprises and then put forward a challenge.

2. The audience will split into smaller groups to get creative and generate solutions.

3. Attendees who want to go further can pledge their time and expertise to make these solutions happen (via Goodsted's online platform).
