We're delighted to welcome our third guest of Series Two: Social entrepreneur, cross-bench peer and systems reformer, Lord Victor Adebowale.
From leading two of the UK's most prominent social enterprises – Turning Point and Centrepoint, to being appointed in the first cohort of People’s Peers, Victor has led an extraordinarily varied life and career.
What has remained a constant throughout his career however, has been his dedication to driving impact at the forefront of health and social care, while consistently making the case for social enterprise as a force for innovation and change.
In this episode we ask: Can Social Enterprises lead the charge to a fairer Britain?
Mary Rose and Victor dive into the imbalances Lord Victor’s Commission on Social Investment found and what needs to be done to fix them, why social enterprises present an opportunity for our public services that statutory services can't deliver, and why large charities need to collaborate with grassroots innovators if we want the most effective solutions to be prioritised.
