Launch Event, Innovation Centre Exeter, 29th November 2018

Some of the exhibition stalls during lunch

7 tables:1. How can we accelerate the quality and reach of ‘ageing well’ services in an ever tighter climate?

2. If you have an idea for SI, what are the next steps? Assessment, Access fund, SI/Shares/Blend

3. How does social investment need to evolve to stimulate smaller social and local enterprise? / How can we recruit and include the small volunteer organisations in this project?

4. How can we use Social Investment to build a strong ecosystem of support?

5. Does outcome based commissioning and the obsession with markets, metrics and managers damage the things that are important? / What most appeals to you about social investment, what repels you from it, and which is stronger?

6. Is there something we can do through social investment to tackle crisis prevention and recovery of children & young people on the edge of care and in care?

7. How do I know if I have a good health/well being investment opportunity?

After 45 minutes each group reported back:

• Their One Year Goal (YELLOW)

• Their Action Items (BLUE)
