In the business world, franchises can be a sure fire way to turn a profit for all parties involved. But what happens when a franchise is made not for the pursuit of revenue, but for the benefit of society?
Social Franchises possess the potential to change the face of the not-for-profit sector, but the inherent risks provide a constant barrier to their success. The Charity Leaders’ Exchange has put together a panel of experts in an emerging field, who are ready to share their insights, successes and failures into a complex, and constantly expanding topic. Our event will attempt to answer the question; ‘Can social Franchising work?’
Panel Includes:
Dan Berelowitz, CEO, The International Centre for Social Franchising
Nick Temple, Director of Business & Enterprise, Social Enterprise UK
Gracia McGrath O.B.E., CEO, Chance UK
Mark Richardson, Lead Consultant, Social Impact Consulting
Chair:
Michael Norton, Director, Centre for Innovation in Voluntary Action
Presentation by:
