With so much conversation around Social Value, HACT and NHC’s Social Value Conference is your chance to take the time to step back and and focus on what really matters.
Our free, two day, online event draws some fantastic and inspirational speakers covering topics from across the board, encouraging those who are at any stage of their social value journey to dip in and out over the event to hear discussions, best practices and conversations.
The Community Centres Network is run by the Centre for Excellence in Community Investment. Members of the community centres network mostly come from housing associations, but some network members are from independent community centres or charity sector partners.
