Online - How to scale social innovations: forming strategic partnerships - 6pm 3 Sep
Nesta. Too many promising social innovations fail to scale, often stalling at the pilot stage. Successful scaling often requires collaborative networks and partnerships that can support long-term growth and impact.
We’re exploring examples of successful strategic partnerships in social innovation as part of our ongoing series on scaling ideas. Drawing insights from our scaling toolkit, the conversation will unpack the practical realities of constructing partnerships across sectors, consider how organisations can shift from isolated efforts to highly integrated partnerships, explore methods for seamless knowledge transfer and discuss strategies for keeping diverse stakeholders aligned around a singular, mission-driven focus.
Whether you are a social innovator, charity leader, funder or policymaker, you will walk away with ideas and tools to apply to your own scaling efforts.

Online - Webinar: Discipleship for Microchurches & Networks - 7pm 3 Sep
How can microchurches and networks cultivate discipleship that is reproducible, relational, and deeply transformative? Join Underground Church for this 1-hour webinar conversation with Peyton Jones as we explore key themes from his recent book, Discipology, and unpack what they mean for microchurch leaders, practitioners, and networks today.
The modern church is facing a discipleship crisis. Research shows that only one-third of Christians in America are actively engaged in making disciples--leaving a massive gap in the mission Jesus gave us. Many churches struggle to move believers from passivity & consumerism to active participation in Kingdom mission. Let’s chat with Peyton Jones, author of Discipology and Church Plantology, about how microchurch leaders can defy that status quo. Whether you lead a microchurch, oversee a network, or are simply passionate about discipleship, this conversation will offer fresh insight, practical wisdom, and encouragement for the road ahead.
