Hi all,

 

Delighted with the response rate for the Acumen 101 event on Thursday! Look forward to seeing & meeting many of you then.

 

We would love to have London for Acumen even more engaged on our 'Ten Things We Have Learned to Be True' series. If you haven't seen the list, you can read them here: http://www.acumenfund.org/ten/#ten-things-box 

 

It would be great to read more comments, tweets, blogs, etc on what our London for Acumen community thinks.

 

All the best,

Vinay

Hello Everybody, 

 

We are a social enterprise based out of India. We are traveling to UK in September for 3 weeks to conduct exhibitions and sales in association with the All India Craftworkers Welfare Association (AIACA) -http://www.aiacaonline.org. We are looking for on-ground collaborations in the UK where we could conduct events around a specific theme. We have currently been invited by a corporate to exhibit to their employees. It would be great if we could get similar opportunities and/or if you could find us organizations interested in ethical consumerism/business, fairtrade, women's groups or social enterprise groups that would be willing to collaborate with us. Hope to hear from you.

Hey London community members,

At Acumen we've been following a bit of the news about the riots in London.  I wanted to let you all know that our thoughts are with you and your families in London.  We hope everyone is finding a way to stay safe and sound.

Hi all, nice to meet you. My background is in business management and marketing. I just quit my job and I am currently enrolled in a MBA with focus on the International Organisations in Geneva. As there is no Acumen chapter yet in Geneva, I thought I'll best get started joining you :-) Looking forward to getting to know you and learn more about Acumen's work and how I could get involved. I'll be in London late August and beginning of October, so hopefully I'll get the opportunity to meet some of you or attend one of your activities.
