How can we create healthier communities, stronger local economies and better outcomes for people through social value?
As pressure on communities grows and traditional funding models face increasing challenges, organisations across the public, private and voluntary sectors are being asked to deliver more impact with fewer resources. This conference brings together decision-makers, practitioners and changemakers to explore how social value can become a driving force for creating healthier, fairer and more resilient places.
Featuring keynote speakers from The King’s Fund, Better Society Capital and Plinth, alongside sector leaders and community voices, the day will explore the future of place-based collaboration, social investment and impact measurement. Through inspiring keynote sessions, panel discussions and practical conversations, we’ll examine how social value can be embedded into decision-making, how impact can be funded and scaled, and how innovation and AI can help organisations evidence the difference they make.
Whether you work in local government, health, business, social enterprise or the wider VCSE sector, you’ll leave with fresh ideas, practical tools and valuable connections to help turn social value from a policy aspiration into meaningful action.
Join us and help shape a future where investment, partnership and innovation work together to deliver lasting social impact for people and communities.
Tickets: £10 per person. Ticket price includes refreshments, lunch and all conference materials. Spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended.
