VPF Annual Conference - Scaling “Inside and Out” 7th July 2011

The VPF Mini Conference on Scaling “Inside and Out” was a great success!   VPF's social entrepreneurs, Contact Points, VPFs Trustees, Members and experts in social impact investing and growing organisations gathered for an interactive practical exchange of experience.  Topics discussed included:  Finance Fit for Growth; Organisation: People, Systems and Process; and Maintaining Quality of Impact.   VPF Executive Director, Andrea Soccorso shared, "The afternoon was lively and filled with thought provoking exchanges of hands on experience in scaling social ventures to maximise social impact.  The CEOs enjoyed a peer to peer exchange together with insight and experience from the VPF commercial sector network.  It was a fantastic example of VPF in action!"  The evening concluded with dynamic presentations by Charity/Social Enterprise CEOs on the real change they are making in the lives of children, families and vulnerable people in the UK and around the world - including just how VPF financial and pro bono support has made a difference.
