A famous centre for enlightenment thinking, 8 John Adam Street, has been the intellectual and social home of some of the greatest thinkers and social activists. As the central hub for the Fellowship, it is open to all Fellows and their guests, and provides a number of facilities and services. The RSA House provides income, facilities, and offices to support our work. All taxable profits generated by RSA House are donated by Gift Aid to support the charitable work of the RSA.

Social Entrepreneurs Network - RSA Fellowship Social Network
Thank you for joining this group. The Social Entrepreneurs network hold regular monthly breakfasts (last Friday of each month) and quarterly events looking at how we can help social enterprises. In November 2010, we launched Social Enterprise Spotlight, a case study of 8 social entrepreneurs and RSA Fellows over the course of a year (or so...) We now have a new batch of Spotlighters starting in March 2012 so watch this space for updates. We'd also like to hear about any social enterprise events taking place, UK and world-wide so please post any activities or events on the wall below.
The Science of Sitting: Why you Should Exercise at Work | The Daily Muse
It’s the fourth time you’ve ditched your lunch buddies this week, opting instead to brown bag it at your desk. You wave goodbye with a PB&J in your left hand and keep typing—no time for chatter when an avalanche of email awaits. Hours later, you realize you haven’t moved a major muscle group since morning, finishing another nine-hour day with your posterior glued into the same seated position. If this sounds like you—well, that’s not good. You might not think much of it, especially if you devote most nights to steamy sessions on the Stairmaster. But could your “work now, exercise later” lifestyle put you at a higher risk for health problems?
There has been a rapid increase in social investment in recent years. According to the Social Investment Forum, social investment in the US now accounts for 11% of total assets under management. The Young Foundation is hosting a seminar with Vinay Nair, European Business Development manager at the Acumen Fund, who will talk about how social investment can meet social need, with a focus on the developing world.
