GOOD DEALS

the first national social investment conference

6 May 2008

LSO St Lukes, 161 Old Street, London EC1V 9NG

 

 

 

 

Join us for the first national conference on social investment.

 

Brought to you by the Office of the Third Sector in partnership with NESTA, Good Deals is the must attend event for both those who need to find finance to help their social enterprise develop and grow - and for those looking to invest in innovative ideas for creating social change.

 

Sponsored by the RBS Group, Good Deals is organised by Social Enterprise magazine.

The social investment landscape in the UK and globally is evolving. Social enterprises, charities, the private sector and government are exploring new and entrepreneurial ways to deliver services, strengthen communities and foster social change through sustainable business models. Providers of finance are stepping up to the challenge with an equal passion for social transformation - and developing innovative ways to structure investment and improve access to finance.

In order for this growth and development to continue, it is essential that social enterprises and charities are able to construct and deliver robust business models and demonstrate to finance providers their capacity to deliver against both the social and financial bottom lines.

Good Deals, the first annual social investment conference, seeks to explore a shared vision of this exciting new landscape. It will bring together those on both sides of the marketplace - investors and investees - to showcase the practical and pioneering work of government and highlight promising market developments, innovations, funds and models.

Take a look at our programme to see exactly how Good Deals can benefit your organisation.
