SILK For the past couple of years we've been working on the Kent Dementia Friendly Communities project. Covering the whole of Kent the project has inspired local community projects and dementia action alliances to form. The past few months we've been hard at work creating a website that captures all the activity that has happened under the Kent Dementia Friendly Communities project. The website quietly went live a few weeks ago and we wanted to share it on here: www.dementiafriendlykent.org.uk The site is not finished, in the future we hope it will be updated by the local alliances and project teams to continue to share the work they are doing, inspiring other communities along the way. We're still editing and adding to the site so if anyone has any comments please do get in touch.
Impact Funds Overcome Doubts, Raise Money September 19, 2012 • Leila B. Boulton By Leila B. Boulton For all the recent hoopla about impact investing, there appears to be some resistance to investing in impact funds. For starters, impact investing--which is about making a positive social or environmental difference while earning a profit--takes patience. Fenwick-Smith spoke at the inaugural Social Impact Fund Showcase, where five innovative Colorado-based funds gave their best elevator pitches to 22 accredited investors. Perceived Risks And Misimpressions Fenwick-Smith told the audience that potential investors in his fund often have a number of inaccurate impressions such as that impact investing necessarily provides lower returns, that all green technologies are high risk and capital intensive, and that Colorado is "too small to matter." One of the fund's portfolio companies was selected to provide the information technology backbone for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Us Now Us Now is a documentary film project "about the power of mass collaboration, the government and the Internet"[1] The New York Times describes it as a film which "paints a future in which every citizen is connected to the state as easily as to Facebook, choosing policies, questioning politicians, collaborating with neighbours."[2] The documentary weaves together the perceptions of leading thinkers on the power of the web, with the overriding suggestion that people gain a sense of satisfaction from active participation rather than symbolic representation in decision-making processes.[3] (Rebecca Frankel, editor of Channel 4's FourDocs) Synopsis[edit] The Us Now website describes the project as an examination of the role of the internet, and more specifically Web 2.0 in facilitating direct public governance without the need for politicians.

news « thinkpublic Looking for thinkpublic? We’re taking a pause, as our founding director Deborah is going on maternity leave from September 2012. We’ve learnt from many of our projects with new mums and children’s services, that starting a family can be like starting a business, extremely consuming in both time and energy. “I started thinkpublic when I was 23 and I had no idea what an impact it would create. thinkpublic has grown from strength to strength, I have been lucky to work with some amazing people on a diverse and exciting range of projects. In 2003 Deborah had a vision that people should be involved in how public services are designed and delivered, and as a team thinkpublic worked with some forward thinking clients including the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement, the Alzheimer’s Society, The Gulbenkian Foundation, NESTA, The Design Council and a long list of local authorities and local NHS Trusts to achieve this. And we know there is more to do. Watch some of our great films
Overview | Social Impact Exchange The Progress We Need Communities across America are struggling to overcome pressing social problems. Fortunately, there are leaders who are pioneering new and effective ways to solve these problems by: Launching initiatives that improve the health and well-being of vulnerable children and families. Reforming school systems in poor neighborhoods that make college a possibility for every one of their students. These individual successes show us that positive change is possible, but they are not yet having the kind of broad impact we all know is necessary. When we find solutions that work, we need to do everything we can to bring them to scale so they reach as many people as possible. Doing everything we can implies that we all work together. Social Impact Exchange The Social Impact Exchange creates the conditions for breakthroughs to go big in order to deliver impact where it is needed most. FIND nonprofit initiatives that consistently get great results and are ready to grow their impact.
