About this event

Business • Startups

The Humanity at the Heart Book Club isn’t your average book group — it’s a space for lively, unpredictable conversations with authors whose ideas spark change.

We’re kicking off with Maff Potts, social justice innovator and founder of Camerados. His book Friends and Purpose shares stories gathered from sofas in the streets — funny, touching, and often surprising insights into what people really think and feel. Alongside these stories, Maff reflects on 30 years in the social justice world, and why he believes the answers lie in humans, not institutions.

📅 Date: Tuesday 23 September🕓 Time: 4:00–4:50pm (BST)📍Zoom

This event is more than a talk. Expect an open, interactive conversation where ideas meet practice — and leave with insights you can use in your own leadership, community, and life.
