Get Set for 2010: Investment and Trading |
|
 Get Set for 2010 on 10 March in York.
Peter Holbrook the new Chief Executive of the Social Enterprise Coalition will give a state of the sector address at SEYH ‘Get Set for 2010’ event on March 10th in York. We are pleased to announce Peter Holbrook’s first regional public appearance where he will speak about the issues facing the sector. He will touch on what opportunities and threats the general election and changes in public spending may bring.
Prior to joining the coalition, Peter was Chief Executive of Sunlight Development Trust where he had an innovative community led approach to regeneration.
Speaking in the Guardian recently, Peter said: "Politically and economically, social enterprise is set to be tested like never before. But alongside the undoubted challenges that face the sector, we have a unique opportunity to promote an economic model that can change not only the way we do business but also society at large."
Get Set for 2010 focuses on those challenges and opportunities, looking at investment and trading for social enterprise.

The Future Jobs Fund is still open for business. Up to 6,400 jobs worth around £40m are being created in the region following the first three rounds of the Fund. The first jobs have already started.
The region has got off to a strong start, but bids are still welcomed – and extensions to existing bids may also be possible. Under the Future Jobs Fund bidders can propose jobs to start right up until March 2011, though contracts are currently just for the first 6 months.
Our successful regional bids, predominantly partnership bids led by local authorities, will create up to 5,350 jobs. Up to a further 1000 jobs will come from national bids that will operate in the region, from organisations such as Groundwork or the Football League Trust.
