[...] These are the reasons why third sector innovation is so vital to the future of social care. Commissioners attending the Festivals of Ideas we have staged around social care acknowledge this, with 86% saying that third sector innovation is ‘very important’ to their work. However, only 4% believe that third sector innovation is ‘very well’ supported. That is why we believe the work of Innovation Exchange is so important. Not only do high-potential projects like Slivers of Time merit special attention, but events to help commissioners of services connect with innovators and social investors can make a real difference. At events from Manchester to Sunderland to Birmingham we have brokered conversations that have made real differences and helped to develop some fantastic projects.
