Social Network for RSA Fellows
Social Entrepreneurs Network
Information
The Social Entrepreneurs Network is a new network launched to convene all FRSA's interested in social entrepreneurship and social enterprise.
Members: 300
Latest Activity: yesterday
Thank you for joining this group.
The Social Entrepreneurs network hold regular monthly breakfasts (last Friday of each month) and quarterly events looking at how we can help social enterprises. In November 2010, we launched Social Enterprise Spotlight, a case study of 8 social entrepreneurs and RSA Fellows over the course of a year (or so...) We now have a new batch of Spotlighters starting in March 2012 so watch this space for updates.
We'd also like to hear about any social enterprise events taking place, UK and world-wide so please post any activities or events on the wall below. Please also use this space as a forum to ask any questions or if you have any problems you need sorted!

Hey Matthew - sounds good. See also some very lively discussion in the Digital Engagement group about better online services. Maybe we could have some inter-group collaboration on this? http://rsafellowship.com/group/digitalengagement/forum/topics/colla...

Content for a ‘Social Enterprise live dashboard’ webpage - please add suggestions here: http://bit.ly/socentsuggestions
I’ve been talking with Sarah Tucker about creating a dynamic live webpage of social enterprise-related goings-on - that we can all use to get a quick idea of what’s happening. (Eg set it as our start-page when we turn on our PC, and take a quick look).
Please add to this page - http://bit.ly/socentsuggestions - any good examples of blogs, #tags, Flickr accounts, webpages etc etc that you’d like to see included.
The end-result should be a Netvibes dashboard page a bit like this one: https://bitly.com/onlineRSA (but hopefully a bit less busy!).
Many thanks for your help :-)

Great breakfast meeting today where I picked up some excellent ideas for the exploration I'm doing into how Fellows can help make the RSA more fully networked. Thanks to Richard Raynes and Trudy Thompson for interviews, which are in this
http://rsafellowship.com/group/digitalengagement/forum/topics/colla...
I hope you'll join us in the digital engagement group, though as I mention in my piece we may need a new space for the exploration.

Hello everyone!
This month's breakfast is nearly upon us and will be happening this Friday 25th May, 9am in the Gerard Bar!
The focus this month is social media and how it can help your social enterprise.
RSA Spotlighters Richard Raynes at SportInspired and Trudy Thompson from Bricks and Bread Living Centre will be leading the conversation and imparting wisdom about Twitter and other online platforms, so hope you will be able to make it.
Please let us know you are coming by replying here.
