Hello, Welcome to the ClearlySo Newsletter, our regular update on everything happening in the social business and enterprise sector. We’ve got lots of news this week starting with the Investment and Contract Readiness Fund. Managed by The Social Investment Business, this is a great project to try and get new social ventures ship shape for capital and competing for public sector contracts. Meanwhile, head on over to www.sbc12.co.uk where you’ll find our new website dedicated to the Social Business Conference 2012. This is the place to be for anyone interested in the wonderful world of social business and enterprise. All that plus our usual mix of jobs, blogs, upcoming events and a chance to join the team at ClearlySo. Have a great week. Jonny Kates |
