The lecturer this year will be Baroness Glenys Thornton (Senior Fellow, The Young Foundation). The Yunus Centre for Social Business and Health at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) would like to invite you to the annual John Pearce Memorial Lecture, which this year is part of the Social Enterprise World Forum’s Academic Symposium which takes place on the 10th and 11th September at GCU.

Baroness Glenys Thornton has spent 40 years working with co-operative, social and community enterprises. The lecture will be wide-ranging in scope, reflecting on the growth of the social and community enterprise movement; the expanding cooperative sector; and the need for supportive ecosystems to enable future national and international development. It will look at the movement historically, with some reference to the work of John Pearce, but will also look at current issues, future challenges and how social enterprises and co-operatives can positively enhance community and public well-being.

This is a free event but please register to ensure your place.
