Webinar: How can social investment support commissioners to improve local services?

Event Date: 24.04.2023 |Time: 15.00-16.30 |Categories: Events |Tags: , , ,

This free webinar was aimed at commissioners from local public authorities, as well as leaders of social enterprises and other public benefit organisations, to explore new and more impactful ways of organising public services.

The event explored how social investment can support local public authorities’ work with social enterprises to improve services. Drawing on case studies from Kirklees and Rotherham, and with input from our expert panel, participants heard how social investment can make a difference to the way services are organised, bringing new resources and supporting transformation.

It was the sixth in our webinar series linked to the E3M From Procurement to Partnership Toolkit.
