It’s Not a Charity Shop

<p>It was lovely having Sue Harris, founder and CEO of New-U on this podcast. Sue is a wonderfully humble and modest human being who has quietly worked relentlessly over the last decade to provide opportunities to young people in their shop in Castle Quarter in Norwich. </p><p>She describes it as a shop that happens to be a charity, with the emphasis on providing good work experiences.  This is instead of being a charity shop providing income for a charity doing something else entirely. </p><p>It’s a subtle distinction that we explore in this podcast and goes to the heart of what’s different about social enterprise and the mindsets and values that sit behind it.  </p><p>Somehow people like Sue just keep going and you get the feeling she’s not done yet.  </p><p> </p><p>A link to New-U is below:</p><p><a href="https://new-ultd.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>New-U</u></a> </p><p> </p><p>My website:</p><p><a href="http://www.haslerwhite.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.haslerwhite.com</a> </p><p><br></p><p>Our hosts:</p><p><a href="http://www.futureradio.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>www.futureradio.co.uk</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>The aim is to cut through the nonsense by having no nonsense open acronym-free conversations about all the things I wish I’d had support with when running my social enterprise.</p><p>It’s now my turn to bring some hope, new ideas and inspiration by speaking to people within my network.</p><p>More resources and all the podcasts can be found on<a href="http://www.haslerwhite.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="http://www.haslerwhite.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>my website</u></a>.</p><p>Find and follow me by heading to:</p><p>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/rebkawhite" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rebkawhite" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rebecca White</a></p><p>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-hasler-white-facilitation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-hasler-white-facilitation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rebecca White</a></p><p>Get in touch for inspiring podcast guests and please share them if you think they might be useful for someone else.</p><p><br></p><p>The track on this podcast is called <a href="⁠https://icons8.com/music/track/funk--3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Funk from Icons8</a></p>

Impact is about more than Impact

<p>We covered a lot of ground in our thirty minutes, not least our time both being shaped by working in the Youth Offending Service (YOS) and the impact this had on us and our approach to youth work. </p><p>Both founding organisations because we thought we had some better ideas is not unfamiliar to social enterprise founders.  </p><p>What is less familiar is the journey Simon went on to get his MA at Cambridge University, (circumventing getting a first degree) that opened his eyes to the potential for evidence-based, technology-driven music education and meeting psychological needs. </p><p>Noise Solution takes a relentlessly human and impact-first approach to understanding and embedding Self Determination Theory whilst perhaps contradictorily making extraordinary use of Artificial Intelligence to understand their impact. </p><p>This drive for an evidence-base isn’t solely to impress commissioners (spoiler - it doesn’t) but about improvements not just to their organisation but to the wider eco-system of commissioning of which they are a critical part. </p><p> </p><p>Links to the Noise Solutions and Transceve websites are below: </p><p><a href="https://www.noisesolution.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>https://www.noisesolution.org</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.transceve.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><u>https://www.transceve.org</u></a> </p><p> </p><p>Two links below to talks given by Damien Ribbans (Operations Director) and Simon Glenister about their work with AI and Impact: </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4WLu8ZRHFY" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4WLu8ZRHFY</u></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.the-sse.org/resource/ai-unlocking-social-impact-insights-from-everyday-conversations/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>https://www.the-sse.org/resource/ai-unlocking-social-impact-insights-from-everyday-conversations</u></a> </p><p> </p><p>My website: </p><p><a href="http://www.haslerwhite.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.haslerwhite.com</a> </p><p> </p><p>Our hosts: </p><p><a href="http://www.futureradio.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>www.futureradio.co.uk</u></a> <br> </p><p>The aim is to cut through the nonsense by having no nonsense open acronym-free conversations about all the things I wish I’d had support with when running my social enterprise. </p><p>It’s now my turn to bring some hope, new ideas and inspiration by speaking to people within my network. <br>More resources and all the podcasts can be found on<a href="http://www.haslerwhite.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="http://www.haslerwhite.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>my website</u></a>. <br> <br>Find and follow me by heading to: <br>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/rebkawhite" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rebkawhite" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rebecca White</a> <br>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-hasler-white-facilitation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-hasler-white-facilitation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rebecca White</a> <br>Get in touch for inspiring podcast guests and please share them if you think they might be useful for someone else. <br> <br>The track on this podcast is called <a href="https://icons8.com/music/track/funk--3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>Funk from Icons8</u></a></p>

A No Brainer

<p>In this second conversation with Matt Parfill, CEO and founder of Grace Enterprises, we explored in more detail his and his organisation’s approach to alternative finance or in this case, social investment.  </p><p>It feels like Matt is clear that whilst it&#39;s flexible and more equitable in terms of the power dynamic (you CAN call some of the shots), it&#39;s also not for the faint hearted. </p><p>Matt is uncritical of his lenders, but recognises the inherent bias in the system that <a href="https://www.socialenterprise.org.uk/seuk-report/backbone-of-britain-state-of-social-enterprise-2025/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">plays out in women-led and minority-led enterprises accessing less alternative finance than male-led enterprises.</a> </p><p>Like the East of England, where Matt is based (East Midlands) is a social investment ‘cold ‘spot’ - meaning it is not receiving anything like its fair share of investment.  </p><p>This podcast aims to tackle the conversation about what it looks like in reality to both raise awareness and dispel some myths.  </p><p>From the perspective of the investor and the wider eco-system of funding for the voluntary sector, social investment presents a uniquely compound impact opportunity - that of not just a social return, but an ever increasing financial return that can continue the virtuous circle of compounding impact on top of impact.  </p><p>For the right organisation and investor, we think it’s a no brainer.  </p><p><br></p><p>Matt’s business empire and further details can be found below</p><p><a href="https://www.graceenterprises.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.graceenterprises.co.uk/</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.radiantcleaners.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.radiantcleaners.co.uk/</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.jubileeevents.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.jubileeevents.co.uk/</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.halfthestory.uk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.halfthestory.uk/</a> </p><p><br></p><p>We also mentioned social investment and social enterprise support, so here are some more useful links: </p><p><a href="https://www.goodfinance.org.uk/case-studies/grace-enterprises" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠https://www.goodfinance.org.uk/case-studies/grace-enterprises⁠</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.goodfinance.org.uk" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠https://www.goodfinance.org.uk⁠</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.sibgroup.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠https://www.sibgroup.org.uk/⁠</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.socialenterprise.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠https://www.socialenterprise.org.uk/⁠</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.socialenterprise.org.uk/seuk-report/backbone-of-britain-state-of-social-enterprise-2025/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠https://www.socialenterprise.org.uk/seuk-report/backbone-of-britain-state-of-social-enterprise-2025/⁠</a> </p><p><br></p><p>My website: </p><p><a href="http://www.haslerwhite.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.haslerwhite.com</a> </p><p><br></p><p>Our hosts: </p><p><a href="http://www.futureradio.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.futureradio.co.uk</a> </p><p><br></p><p>The aim is to cut through the nonsense by having no nonsense open acronym-free conversations about all the things I wish I’d had support with when running my social enterprise.</p><p>It’s now my turn to bring some hope, new ideas and inspiration by speaking to people within my network.</p><p>More resources and all the podcasts can be found on<a href="http://www.haslerwhite.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> </a><a href="http://www.haslerwhite.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">my website</a>. <br> <br>Find and follow me by heading to: </p><p>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/rebkawhite" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rebkawhite" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Rebecca White</a></p><p>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-hasler-white-facilitation/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> </a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-hasler-white-facilitation/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Rebecca White</a> </p><p>Get in touch for inspiring podcast guests and please share them if you think they might be useful for someone else. <br></p><p>The track on this podcast is call <a href="https://icons8.com/music/track/funk--3" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Funk from Icons8</a></p>
