Addressing Imbalance: Good Finance’s engagement programme

The Good Finance engagement programme, Addressing Imbalance, exists to connect with Black and Ethnic Minority led organisations to improve access to information, knowledge and resources about social investment.

The Diversity and Inclusion blogs cover gender imbalance in social investment and social enterprise sectors, female leadership, the disproportionate effect of Covid-19 on ethnic minority communities, and stopping diversity and inclusion from being just buzzwords.

All of their Addressing Imbalance events will be listed here, so check for events coming soon.

Social Enterprise UK to host 2-day digital summit

Social Enterprise UK (SEUK), one of the leading social sector organisations, has arranged a 2-day digital summit to take place from the 25-26 of November. As Careers4Change mentioned last week, amongst the upheaval, we’ve seen the social enterprise sector respond to the pandemic and rise to its challenges in inspiring ways. This conference will allow for the celebration of the main achievements of the year and discussions about the visions and hopes for 2021 as we #buildbackbetter from Covid-19.

SEUK will use an interactive platform to provoke thought-provoking debates and discussions, and encourage networking and the opportunity to ask questions to the world-class line up of speakers. Also, The 2020 Roll of Honour will recognise particular individuals playing a vital role within the social enterprise movement. You can nominate someone who has inspired you by tagging them on social media using #SocEntFutures.

Early-bird tickets are on sale for £30 for non-Social Enterprise UK members until 9 October.
