3 mins read The Early Years Blog

I operate in two worlds; early years and social enterprise. Every now and then they converge, and I find myself invited to a most unusual or unexpected event. That happened on Saturday when I was invited to join a lively panel in the Economics Tent of the Big Tent Festival at Mudshute Farm.

I had never been to Mudshute before. It's a huge green space compared with my local farm at Capel Manor in Crystal Palace Park or Vauxhall City Farm.

The panel was chaired by Lord Victor Adebowale, CEO of Turning Point and Chair of Social Enterprise UK plus three others (and me):
• Zoe Nicholson (CEO, Here)
• Helen Paisley (Regional Operations Director, Community Dental Services Bedford)
• Liam Halligan Economic Journalist on Telegraph and Spectator
