Sophia Course, Timebank and Enterprise Club

The next Sophia Course that the Seven Kings & Newbury Park Sophia Hub is running is specifically for residents of Valentines Ward. See above for details.

Want help signing up to the Sophia Hub's Timebank? Turn up at St. John's Seven Kings (IG2 7BB) between 10.00 am and 12.00 noon on Monday (15th June). But try on your own first at www.sophiahubs.com/sevenkingstimebank. You will need an email account.

On Monday 30th June we will be hearing from David Alcock, a Senior Associate at Anthony Collins Solicitors, who will be talking to the Enterprise Club about legal structures for social enterprises. Rather than our usual Tuesday afternoon session this specially arranged session will be on Monday 30th June from 10.30 am. 

David leads the firm’s work with community organisations, social enterprises and co-operatives.  He is a specialist in governance issues in the third sector, and is also at the forefront of developing new mutual models of delivering public services.  He has advised numerous organisations on governance and contractual matters at board level, as well as training new and potential board members on their duties and responsibilities.  He has helped a number of organisations navigate significant governance challenges successfully, including major governance reviews and sensitive non executive director matters. 

He has also led throughout on the firm’s work with community asset transfer, including coordinating the model guidance and documents for the Asset Transfer Unit, and advice on the community rights under the Localism Act.  He is a keen supporter of the wider movement, was a board member of the Development Trust Association prior to the merger which formed Locality, and is currently on the board of the Meanwhile Foundation and inter-faith charity the Feast.
