Grab a coffee and join us and our special guests on December 14th from 9 am to 10:30 am, to celebrate the resilience, innovation, and positivity of social enterprises in 2020.
About this Event
At SERI, we know how hard this year has been hard for our members. We have worked harder than ever to survive the pandemic which has been hugely challenging for not just our organisations, but also for us all personally as leaders. We can see that our beneficiaries need our services more than ever, but many of us have had to rebuild our impact models with ever-decreasing resources from scratch in order to continue to create the impact which we are so passionate about. We would like to finish off this year by encouraging you to take an hour or so out of your day, grab a coffee and a mince pie (or a rasher sandwich) and hear from 3 inspirational speakers on how we can stay positive, focused, and resilient as we enter a new year.
Our 3 Speakers are:

She was named Young Person of the Year and appears in the 2013 documentary, No Limbs No Limits. She first gained attention for skipping school to confront Taoiseach Enda Kenny about his proposed plan to reduce disability funding during his election. Though he told her he would not cut funding, upon his election, he did slash the disability budget. In April 2012, she spoke before the United Nations to address the use of technology and challenge the UN to create technology to help disabled people such as herself. Joanne is a recent graduate of Criminology in UCC under a Quercus Active Citizen scholarship and aspires to become a sports journalist, working regularly with The Irish Times and other publications on women in sport; disability and sport; racial issues in sport; and, of course, her beloved FC Barcelona.
