Please, please vote in the Chair elections to help make a difference. If you dont vote, we will get what we have always got. It is clear from the survey responses that Fellows want to be more connected and appropriately involved/ informed. Lets make this happen!  

You can see my statement here : http://rsalondon.hustingo.com/regional-chair-candidate/barbara-ande...

To vote just follow the instructions in the email that you received on 18 June 2012 by ERS from the email address: TheRSAonlinevoting@electoralreform.co.uk
Thank you!

Some Tory MPs and ministers genuinely back social enterprise, it's a shame the people running the spending departments don't feel the same: http://beanbagsandbullsh1t.com/2012/07/05/one-step-on-a-journey/

Don't forget that tomorrow night is the first quarterly event in the new series of the RSA's Social Enterprise Spotlight.  

The theme of the evening is 'How social media can help your social enterprise'.  The event runs from 6.30pm - 9pm and is held at Central Working, 11 Bayley Street, WC1B 3HB.

It  will include advice and workshops from social entrepreneurs including:

• an overview and debunking of social media myths by Rina Atienza from Synacapse
• a Twitter master-class by Trudy Thompson from Bread and Bricks
• a tour of the different social media platforms and some great examples by Eugenie Teasley from Spark+Mettle

There will also plenty of opportunity to meet, learn from and support other social entrepreneurs.  

This event is fully booked, so if you signed up but are no longer able to come please contact Alice Dyke.  If you want to come but haven't reserved your space please get in touch.

This month's social entrepreneurs breakfast is nearly upon us. Tomorrow morning, Friday 29th June, we'll sit down at 9am in the Gerard Bar to share insights about scaling social enterprises; is franchising the best option? 

RSA Spotlighter Asma Shah will facilitate contributions from those of you who make it. She runs a social enterprise You Make It currently based in east London in which young unemployed women complete an entrepreneurial development course culminating in running market stalls selling the products of local designers.

It should be a really interesting discussion looking at the business and personal issues around growing a social enterprise to scale, so I hope you will be able to make it.

For more details and to let us know you are coming, reply here.

Thanks John, that's really helpful.  I'll take a look at that :)

Hi Caroline, I helped Devin Foster with the NACUE connection when I was at NACUE. I wish the conference well! Hi Charlotte, you should check out Social Enterprise Yorkshire and Humber for event presentation ideas. They can also help with locations and catering sponsors. http://www.seyh.org.uk/

@Caroline - Thanks for that - I'll read the links you provided :)

Hi Charlotte,

At Hult International Business School, where I work, we have a Masters in Social Entrepreneurship course and they have involved UnLTD in one of their conferences - you can read more here:

Social Entrepreneurship Forum: Expanding the horizons

We're also collaborating with NACUE on running a social entrepreneur focused careers event.

Let me know if you want any further information.

In Yorkshire we're looking at joining up with Unlimited to do an event around social entrepreneurs.  Have anyone done anything else like that across the UK?
