“Accountability, transparency, & trust in cross-sector partnerships”
In a world grappling with unprecedented challenges and near-constant crisis, collaboration is not a luxury but a necessity. At this year’s Social Outcomes Conference we ask how we can foster collaboration and partnership working in a world of increasing uncertainty. In the face of these adversities, accountability, transparency, and trust become more vital than ever, forming the bedrock of cross-sector partnerships aimed at social change.

We ask: how can innovative contracting practices contribute to long-term, trust-based relationships? How can we use data not just to measure impact, but to actively drive improvement and hold partners accountable? How can we ensure that marginalised communities are meaningfully involved, not just consulted, in shaping and implementing solutions?

We will bring together the world’s leading researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to share cutting-edge insights and practical strategies for building partnerships that not only deliver social good, but do so with integrity and efficacy.

The largest-ever gathering of B Corps to harness the power of people using business as a force for good. We’ll be bringing this growing community of 2,000 B Corps together, putting ideas into action and tackling the issues that matter.
Main stage and over 40 fringe events. Fringe sessions are grouped by three key themes: Regenerative futures, Leading the change and Now, together. These themes encompass everything it means to do business, better.
 

How exactly do health communities help human beings to thrive? What is about them that is so essential to the way we function as individuals? What can we do, in the midst of escalating poverty and disconnection, to strengthen our communities?

These are the questions ACE-Aware Scotland will be exploring in our 2024 event. There could be no one better to help us in addressing these questions than this year’s invited speaker: Professor Sir Michael Marmot.

Change is possible. Sometimes that is hard to believe. Hoping for change – in the lives of those we support and in the systems that hold them down – can be draining over time. Often change takes a lot longer than we would like.
Perhaps that is why the Bible says “let us not grow weary in doing good” – God knows that pouring ourselves into deeds of mercy and justice is hard. It can be exhilarating and joyful, but it can also be exhausting, frustrating and disappointing.
Our aim at Churches that Change Communities 2024 is to provide a place where we can be refreshed in God and inspired again to believe that change really is possible – in our own lives, for the people we serve, for our churches, our neighbourhoods, and our nation.
