More than a roof: how can social enterprises help people find and keep a stable home?
Thursday 27th August, 12.30pm – 1.45pm
Employment, financial security, mental health, access to advice and strong support networks can all affect whether someone can find and sustain a home. Social enterprises are developing practical solutions that connect these different needs and help people move from crisis towards greater stability. Join the School for Social Entrepreneurs for a conversation with social enterprise leaders tackling homelessness and housing insecurity in different ways:
- Cemal Ezel, Founder of Change Please
- Jerry During MBE, Founder and CEO of Money A+E
- Ryan McKiernan, Managing Director of Fat Macy’s
- Pam Orchard, CEO of The Connection at St Martin’s
Together, they will explore how social enterprises can:
- Develop solutions grounded in people’s experiences and needs
- Address the wider causes of homelessness and housing insecurity
- Help people access and sustain private rented accommodation
- Build effective partnerships and sustainable income models
- Test, improve and grow approaches that create lasting change
This webinar is for charities, social enterprises and community organisations working in housing and homelessness, as well as related areas such as information and advice, financial inclusion, refugee support, mental health, addiction and employment.
