When VCSEs and SMEs Unite: Experience Meets Influence
What really changes when grassroots experience meets sector-wide influence?
Off the back of an overwhelmingly positive reception at UKREiiF, we’re bringing back this powerful conversation as our September expert-led webinar. Chaired by our CEO, Isabelle Prasram, this session will revisit the dynamic panel exploring how collaboration between VCSEs and SMEs can unlock long-term social value.
With original insights from:
- Carl Konadu BEM, CEO of 2-3 Degrees
- Andy Clarke, Head of Partnerships at Ahead Partnership
- Ben Anderson, Senior Social Impact Manager at Landsec
What to expect:
The session will run from 12:30pm to 1:30pm and will include a 30-minute panel discussion open to all, followed by an exclusive Q&A for members. It’s a great opportunity to revisit the key themes raised at UKREiiF and engage directly with the speakers.
