Location:
Deaf Cultural Centre, Ladywood Road, Birmingham, B16 8SZ
Organiser:
More than Outputs (External Funding Matters), funded by Capacitybuilders

A half day conference where social enterprises, value and public services connect!

  • Hear from social enterprises leading the way in evidencing their impact and value, and the implications for the public sector
  • Discover innovations in commissioning practice
  • Debate the new Public Services White Paper, with our keynote speaker from the Cabinet Office.

This conference is the culmination of a two year project - Adding Value Winning Contracts - funded by Capacitybuilders and delivered by More than Outputs (EFM Ltd). The project has worked with over 120 social enterprises across the West Midlands on selling to the public sector and demonstrating value using Social Return on Investment.

The event will showcase good practice using case study examples and look at how commissioners and social enterprises can take more account of value, and how to make better connections between social enterprise and the public sector.

Who should attend?

An essential event for those involved in commissioning public services who are interested in creating change, finding new solutions and making more of a difference.

A limited number of spaces have also been secured for members of Social Enterprise West Midlands - social enterprises, support providers and others interested in contributing how they evidence and communicate their added value effectively and commissioner’s perspectives.
