North East Social Enterprise

Join us for a day celebrating, connecting and sharing best practice with North East social enterprises!

Power to Change is proud to help sponsor this year’s North East Social Enterprise day.

There are 3 ticket options this year:

  • In person: you can expect unlimited tea and coffee throughout the event as well as a delicious buffet lunch. (£8pp)
  • Live access: you can expect live feeds and opportunities to intereact with the in-person event from the comfort of your sofa. (£5pp)
  • On-Demand access: you can access recordings of the live event at a time convenient to you. (£5pp)

From previous years feedback, we understand that the most important part of the day is the opportunity to make new and meaningful connections. With this in mind, we have designed a day with both structured and informal networking opportunities as well as space to promote & learn about each other. This is our first time trialing a hybrid event but we’re doing our best to ensure ‘meaningful connections’ are possible to achieve regardless of your ticket type.

Room 1: Money. Facilitated by Kay Wightman

· Does it really matter where it comes from if it allows you to do good? (Grants vs contracts vs direct sales vs donations etc)

· How do you balance the need for income generation vs time spent on achieving your impact?

· We all know we should be doing more financial planning (cashflow forecasts, budgets etc), but what do you actually do to keep your organisation’s finances healthy?

Room 2: Impact Measurement. Facilitated by Heidi Fisher

· If no-one asks, should we even care about measuring our impact?

· What are the best framework options for people exploring impact measurement for the first time?
