Social Enterprise UK activity Ceri Jones, Head of Policy and Research at Social Enterprise UK, authored a recent blogpost which appeared on the Guardian Social Enterprise network calling on trade unions and social enterprise to recognise their common ground. The full article is still available to read here. To accompany this piece, we've published a draft paper which proposes a very basic set of values and operating principles in relation to public service reform and the role of social enterprise within that. It is there to be discussed so please have a look and if you have any comments send them to Olof Jonsdottir - olof.jonsdottir@socialenterprise.org.uk.  Social Enterprise UK will be delivering a number of events during September. These are outlined below but full details are available on the website. Right to run 8 September - Liverpool A one day event for public sector staff interested in setting up a social enterprise or mutual. More information on the programme and how to book can be found on the website. Two at the Top 22 September - Manchester A one day event which will focus specifically on the relationship between the CEO and Chair for social enterprises moving out of the public sector into social enterprise models. This event requires BOTH the Chair and CEO of the same organisation to attend. This event is free to attend for Right to Request social enterprises with a cost for other any other delegates. Social Enterprise Leadership Development course From 14 September Developed by Social Enterprise UK and delivered by Real Partners CIC the course includes personal leadership development days, the opportunity to meet and learn from other leaders through social enterprise visits, roundtables, and peer-to-peer events. There are only a small number of places remaining. Application forms can be found on the website. News Leading social entrepreneur and Social Enterprise UK Board member, Karen Lowthrop, has been appointed an Honorary Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in recognition of her services to social enterprise in Lincolnshire. Karen (pictured above with husband, Nigel) is Chief Executive of Hill Holt Wood and fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. In 1997 Karen and her husband, Nigel Lowthrop, founded Hill Holt Wood having purchased the woodland two years earlier. In 2002 the environmental social enterprise was born and Hill Holt Wood now enjoys national prominence as a leading example of how natural resources can be maintained and developed for the benefit of the local community. Andrew Mason, Head of Finance at Hill Holt Wood, said: “We are delighted that Karen has been recognised in such a manner for her passion and commitment to Hill Holt Wood's work with disadvantaged young people in Lincolnshire, and look forward to many more years of successful community involvement.” Peter Holbrook, Chief Executive of Social Enterprise UK said: "We are delighted Karen has been given this honour. It is very well deserved. Karen is a true leader in the social enterprise movement, and her work has touched the lives of many thousands of people. Hill Holt Wood has proven a turning point in the lives of many young people who needed the sort of imaginitive, practical support it provides.” The award was not announced in January because Karen is Irish and honours to foreign and commonwealth citizens must be approved by the individual's home country and are announced throughout the year. Karen will receive her award in September 2011. Consultations The Independent Review on Social Mobility & Child Poverty has launched a call for evidence which asks for contributions from a wide range of people and organisations on how social mobility and child poverty can best be tackled. It explores questions around how child poverty and social mobility are linked, what the challenges are and asks for ideas on what potential solutions might be. It seeks views on the Government’s strategies, ideas on how best to measure progress, and asks how projects targeting child poverty and social mobility can be set up, effectively evaluated and successfully rolled out. The findings from the call for evidence will build on work already undertaken – including the 2011 child poverty consultation, three independent reviews by Frank Field, Graham Allen and Dame Clare Tickell, and the 2009 Fair Access to the Professions report. If you have any questions about the call for evidence, please email Milburnreview@cabinet-office.x.gsi.gov.uk. Responses can be submitted via the Cabinet Office website until the 16 October 2011.
