About this event
Venture Café Edinburgh's weekly Thursday Gathering returns from its summer break to spotlight the people building better systems for Scotland's charities and social enterprises. Founders, funders, technologists and changemakers come together for honest conversations on how skilled volunteering and smarter funding infrastructure can close the resource gap — including the launch of More Than Profit®, a new organisation supporting the sector. Free, at the Bayes Centre, with spotlights, open networking and connections that go beyond the room; the city's most reliable weekly cross-ecosystem gathering.
