Event Details

Innovation & Partnership: The Role of Social Entrepreneurs in an Ageing Society

Wednesday 21st March 2012, Congress Centre, Central London

 

Following a series of successful programmes both for and by older people, UnLtd – the Foundation for Social Entrepreneurs – is holding a conference to explore the positive opportunities that social entrepreneurship offers the age sector. Celebrating the achievements of our Award Winners, the event will discuss how the many different organisations operating in the age economy can work effectively with social entrepreneurs to promote and nurture new solutions to ageing issues.

This event is an opportunity to hear from representatives from Government departments, age sector, private sector and other organisations to explore how social entrepreneurship offers a vehicle to make real differences in the lives of older people and be a source of innovation and empowerment. Unleashing the energies of social entrepreneurs, including those in later life, can provide authentic, inclusive solutions to ageing challenges.

We very much hope you are able to participate in the event and show support for individuals who have the drive, ambition and belief to transform the world in which they live.
