The final report from POPse!, the first pop-up social enterprise, brings together a sample of material produced throughout the week it based itself at Meanwhile Exmouth Market, London.

In May 2011, POPse! drew together some of the UK’s leading social enterprise thinkers and practitioners to spend a week together to share and develop ideas and thinking. POPse! did not set out to provide all the answers but has at its core a belief that the time is ripe for challenge, scrutiny and analysis of social enterprise policy and practice.

The report is being sent to policymakers, influencers, practitioners and contributors who can move those specific debates and areas of practice on. POPse! think, and hope, that there is honesty, insight, and constructive new thinking in here.

POPse! believe that the social enterprise world relishes a bit of humour (see the social enterprise playlist and 100 social enterprise truths), a chance to debate openly and honestly, and a free space to be creative in its thinking. Those in charge of events, conferences and organisational away-days should take note; if we’re all heads-down in survival and delivery modes, the future will be something we experience, not shape.

Hope you enjoy it.
