Last week I ventured, along with my PwC mentor, to the PwC Impact Hub on Tooley Street for their Social Enterprise Awards. Having never been shortlisted for an award in my life, this was very exciting and new. Brigade is the most amazing social enterprise bar and restaurant and the canapés (small feasts) were to die for. We were shortlisted for the Innovation award and didn’t win. Sometimes people don’t win and I think in the world of social media hyperbole, it’s important to share the highs and lows. Everyone says that they don’t mind, but I really don’t. Not least because Bristol Braille Technology did, with awesome and groundbreaking technology. In the Social Impact category I was thrilled to see the wonderful Money A + E and my friend Jerry scoop an award for their epic efforts to bring money skills to parts of London. The very best people won on the night and to spend a couple of hours with 15 shortlisted social enterprises was an absolute joy.
