Social Value UK, the national membership body, is hosting Social Value Brokerage workshops, facilitated by Supply Change and the Social Value Exchange

Over the last few months, we've seen local government heroics in response to Covid 19... but that response has been most effective when it has involved the local Voluntary, Community & Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector.

Most now realise that if you need to mobilise locally at speed, you can't do it without your local VCSEs.

And, increasingly, VCSEs have received vital support from corporate business, who have stepped up and provided resources like laptops and business support.

This is a great way to describe what happens through Social Value Brokerage - the connecting of public, private and VCSEs for mutual benefit.

This is a way of working that can be normalised and formalised in the public procurement process.

We are running an Introduction to Social Value Brokerage on Tuesday 4 August, from 9.30am - 10.30am.

These sessions are for public sector organisations.

This will be followed up with further workshops across August as we move from principles and into the practical steps and tools to deliver on Social Value Brokerage.

We look forward to seeing you.
