This is an intensive, interactive weekend event that brings fun and creativity to individuals from across the region who are keen to contribute to social innovation.

Working in teams with fellow students, local businesses and creatives, you will come together as creative problem solvers in pursuit of socially innovative ideas that address the mental and physical health, welfare and wellbeing issues in our region.

This event will give you the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and grow your networks whilst adding value to ideas that can help improve people’s lives.

On submission of your team's idea at the end of the weekend, you will have the chance to be selected for the next stage of the journey to access all or part of a £20,000 grant by attending the Social Impact Accelerator starting next year.
