Dear All,

Our two forthcoming speakers demonstrate different approaches to social change. John Bird set up the Big Issue as a model of how a social business, as opposed to a charity, can be a solution to homelessness and social exclusion. Sir Tom Hunter has pledged to give away over £1 billion of his fortune through The Hunter Foundation. This uses adventure philanthropy to invest in capital and intellect to tackle the root causes of societal problems through holistic and systemic interventions. Come and judge for yourself the effectiveness of these approaches and hear their amazing stories.
