Leicester Centre for Social Innovation Consultation

Thank you for participating in our survey. Your feedback is important.

Social Innovation People CiC (www.socialinnovationpeople.org) run social innovation accelerator programmes designed to bring new to the market projects and businesses to tackle social problems in Leicester and Leicestershire.

Based on discussions amongst accelerator participants and the wider city and county community, we have gathered support for the idea of creating a centre for social innovation. Our ideas are based on the Toronto Centre for Social Innovation which defines social innovation "as the creation, development, adoption, and integration of new and renewed concepts, systems, organizations and practices that put people and planet first. At their best, social innovations address root causes and change the very systems resisting change to unlock a better world for all."

This is how we see things as well, and we would love to create a space in Leicester to bring like-minded people together who share our vision and want to contribute.

With this in mind, we'd like to hear your views, please!

Our survey is short and to the point and shouldn't take you long to complete. If you do, thanks very much!

Fyi we won't share your info with anyone other than ourselves. Your views will help us shape our plans and bids for funding.

If you would like to go onto our mailing list, just tick the box at the end of this survey and you'll hear from us in due course.
