RSA Thursday

Child poverty: why social franchising is a giant step in the right direction

Thursday 17th November, 1pm

 

The RSA is proud to host this year's Margaret Horn Lecture, an annual event held by the London Early Years Foundation to debate the latest issues, developments and opportunities considered crucial to building a better future for London's children, families and communities.

 

LEYF is the UK's leading childcare charity and social enterprise, dedicated to building this better future through a commitment to excellence in Early Years education, training and research.

 

Delivering the Margaret Horn Lecture on Social Enterprise Day, LEYF CEO June O'Sullivan will present initial findings of research carried out into the LEYF model and consider whether growing this model through social franchising offers a new way forward in tackling the challenges of child poverty.

 

Speaker: June O'Sullivan FRSA, CEO, London Early Years Foundation

 

Chair: Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive, RSA
