Meet & Greet.

The Impact Trail is on the road and coming to a venue near you!

As part of the ARISE campaign, the team at Social Impact Ireland are travelling Ireland highlighting the impact and value of Social Enterprises. With four venues lined up – covering East, West, Midlands and South – our Meet & Greet days are focused on Impact. On the day, you can expect a ‘Map Your Impact’ workshop, guest speakers, networking opportunities and much more.

Pauline Gannon, Co-Founder & Director of Impact at Social Impact Ireland says “Join us and get involved in the positive impact that is happening in the social enterprise space so we can influence policy, which influences funding, which helps us to all grow our social impact and the work that we do.”

What to expect on the day

Social impact is everywhere. This workshop will help you better understand the real impact of what you do and help you to articulate it in a meaningful way.

Our guest speakers are amongst Ireland’s most exciting Social Entrepreneurs. They have built, and continue to build, their social enterprises to enhance the communities we all live in. We will gain insight into what Impact means to them and how they measure & communicate it.

We offer the opportunity to network with fellow social entrepreneurs during the event and over lunch. It’s been a while since many of us have met in person and we look forward to the magic that happens from these interactions.

Note: lunch is provided by Social Impact Ireland

To highlight and promote the Social Enterprise sector, we invite you to bring any information flyers or products to promote your Social Enterprise. We will have an Info Table set up to share and display each others marketing materials.

We will avail of this opportunity to take some photos and videos to share across our socials.
