On Wednesday 1st November 2017 Hackney Co-operative Developments CIC, in partnership with Hackney Council, will host the ‘Social Enterprise in the Inner City’ conference at Hackney House.
Using Hackney as a case study, the conference will explore how to develop a vibrant local social enterprise ecosystem in which social enterprises can address inner city challenges such as disengaged youth, social exclusion, food poverty etc. Through a series of talks, panels and breakout sessions the conference will identify key inner city needs, an inner city vision for social enterprise and the steps actors can take to grow the social enterprise sector. The day will also include an opportunity to work with the Mayor of Hackney to draft a social enterprise manifesto for Hackney.
Confirmed speakers include Philip Glanville, Mayor of Hackney, Bharat Mehta CBE, CEO of Trust for London and Peter Holbrook, CEO of Social Enterprise UK.
