Join us as we bring together changemakers, social enterprises, community leaders, businesses, and policymakers to spotlight the transformative power of social enterprise. This isn’t just about supporting the sector; it’s about placing social enterprises at the heart of local policy and decision-making, using their expertise by experience to shape better services, a stronger NHS and social care system, and a more inclusive local economy — improving outcomes for people and communities across the city.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Rachel Maskell MP
- Neill Berry, Head of Programmes, Access
- Cllr Peter Kilbane, Deputy Leader of the Council, Executive Member for Economy and Culture
- Sam Leach, Co-founder of Spark CIC and Mayoral Authority Business Board member
