Exciting times here at Bright One at the moment, with our Christmas Drinks (hosted jointly with Third Sector PR) next week (sign up here) and today we’re delighted to announce the launch of some new meetups that we’re setting up: Social Impact Camp.
Not sure about what Social Impact is? Well Wikipedia describes it as: “In business and government policy, social impact refers to how the organisation’s actions affect the surrounding community.”
Over recent weeks there has been a lot of discussion both on and offline about measuring social impact – check out Rob Greenland’s blog to see just one example of some of the debate that’s happening, and seeing some of the good work that MeasurementCamp does, we were inspired to set up Social Impact Camp.
Social Impact Camp is a monthly meet up for people to discuss different ways of measuring social impact. We compare tactics, think of ways to improve it and wonder if there will ever be a standard set of metrics against which to judge success by.
We drink tea, sometimes we eat biscuits too. It’s a friendly place, we don’t try and sell to each other; instead we’re honest, pretty and will never wear name tags.
We’ve set up a Social Impact Camp Wiki-Page here and you can sign up to attend the first Social Impact Camp at the events page here
The first Social Impact Camp is being run in partnership with UnLtdWorld – the social networking site that connects social entrepreneurs to the people, tools and information they need to change the world. Here are the details:
Date: Wednesday 20th January 2010
Time: 6:00 – 8:00 pm
Location: UnLtd, 123 Whitecross Street, EC1Y 8JJ
We look forward to seeing you all there for some great conversations…and lots of biscuits.
