🌹📅 This year at the Labour Party Conference, we and the School for Social Entrepreneurs, Social Investment Business, Access - The Foundation for Social Investment and Pathway Fund are hosting a Mission-Driven Business Reception on the Albert Dock on Tuesday 24th September 4-6 pm for the first time. 👋 If you're a parliamentarian, policymaker, mission-driven business, investor, community champion or academic at the conference (or based in the Liverpool City Region!) we'd love to see you there. The event is outside the secure zone so as many people as possible can get involved. 📢 The Mission-Driven Business Reception will feature a number of short speeches from our incredible guests including Lola McEvoy MP, and celebrate and explore a new partnership between mission-driven businesses and mission-driven government. Please reach out to gbrewster@bettersocietycapital.com if you would like to join us. We look forward to celebrating with you! #LabourConference #SocialImpactInvestment
Sounds great! All power to you in building momentum around the case for inclusive and equitable partnerships with underinvested social entrepreneurs!
