Chain Reaction Programme launch
19 Sep 2008
Our national team LinksUK have today announced the programme for the first Chain Reaction event - our new initative to share learning and to generate new ideas for social change, locally, nationally and globally. We are delighted to be welcoming social leaders, community activists, policy makers, business leaders and young people from around the globe. Our contributors include Comic Relief founder Jane Tewson, now doing ground breaking work in Australia, who will challenge and inspire us and angry alchemists like John Bird (Big Issue) and Tim Smit (Eden Project) will be sharing their special brew, reminding us that some things are hard but nothing is impossible. In addition, venture capital guru Sir Ronald Cohen will be applying his experience to the financing of social change and Mark Thompson Director General of the BBC will tackle the contribution of the media. Richard Branson will be joining us via a video link, and City father Sir David Walker will be with us in the flesh.
