How do you measure the value your work creates—for communities, stakeholders, and the planet?
Sign up for a social value seminar on September 22nd to learn practical frameworks. Ideal for nonprofit staff, CSR teams, social entrepreneurs, and public sector professionals.
Social Value is no longer a "nice to have". It is now a key part of procurement for UK Government departments, local authorities, the NHS and many other public sector organisations. Businesses that can demonstrate and deliver meaningful social value are increasingly finding themselves at an advantage when bidding for work.
Join David Beck, Social Value Strategist at Beck Associates, at Fareham Innovation Centre, for an informative and practical workshop that will help you understand what social value means, why it matters, and how your organisation can develop a meaningful approach that delivers benefits for both your business and your community.

Exciting news we have Sarina Mann from Breakthrough Public Speaking joining us at our next Networking Hub on September 16th

In this upcoming talk at the Ocean Village Innovation Centre, you'll learn how business owners, leaders and consultants are using public speaking, in all its forms, to build visibility, credibility and client conversations, without becoming performers or spending hours on marketing.

This session is built to give you practical insight, clear frameworks and a new way of thinking about speaking, whether you're at the start of your journey or already speaking regularly and want it to work harder for your business.

You'll leave with:

* A clearer understanding of how public speaking fits into your growth strategy
* Ideas you can apply to your business straight away
* A simple structure for developing your own speaking assets over time

No hype. No pressure. Just a clear, grounded approach to using public speaking as a long-term business advantage.
