This is a question we will seek to address at our upcoming annual conference in York on 6th and 7th June.
In this conference we will be asking delegates to consider how social enterprise can help address rising levels of inequality. Can they create opportunities for societal change to benefit the many, not an elite few?

Content and Timings
There will be a panel discussion session, looking at how organisations across different industries are working to create a fairer society. This will include insights from the CIC Regulator and The Living Wage Foundation.
The conference will kick off at 4pm on 6th June for an afternoon of celebration, including our annual awards reception, followed by a BBQ dinner.
The winner of the Making a Mark competition will be announced at the reception, and there will also be presentations of the Social Enterprise Mark/Gold Mark to new successful applicants. 7th June will be a full day programme (9.30am – 3pm), with a range of keynote sessions and workshops.
