Social Founders Forum | Founder Transition & Succession
We’re excited to announce our next Social Founders Forum on 24 September 2025!
Overview
Our Forum theme is Founder Transition and Succession - how do we adapt, change our roles and teams? How and when do we decide to step down? How do we ‘leave well’? We know this is a huge challenge for us as social founders, and many of you have asked us to discuss this.
We’ll be joined by fascinating social founder speakers, who will share their experience of transition and succession. We’ll also want to hear from You, both engaging with our speakers, and in our round table discussions with fellow founders.
Location
We're excited to be hosted on this occasion by the creative charity Proposition Studios, situated in a dynamic and innovative area of London, Bethnal Green, 15 minutes from Oxford Circus on the Central Line. With the studios only a few steps aways from the tube station.
Schedule
At 9.30am we’ll kick off with coffee and pastries from an East London social enterprise bakery, for a 10:00 prompt start.
At 13:00 we’ll have a delicious British Bangladeshi lunch prepared by a leading local, women-led collective, with networking time with your fellow Social Founders until 14.30.
For those interested, we’ll be sure to organise a tour of the Studios for you after lunch, and a visit to their exhibition.
And if you want an extra bit of East End creativity in the afternoon post-event, the Young V&A Museum is across the road, which we’d highly recommend.
Our Partners
We’re pleased to be running our Forum in partnership with CIVA, the Centre for Innovation in Voluntary Action.
So book now to be sure of a place! We can’t wait to see you there.
