This seminar has been organised to promote pioneers in social and green finance. As specialists in this field we are familiar with the many great organisations and individuals active in social and environmental finance. We recognise the growing demand for socially responsible finance, post the financial crisis and the gap between that of the wider public and our knowledge. We will be bringing together four different organisations at one event to educate and inform the wider public of the work we and they do and its significance.
1-2 pm
Join the experts online to explore the role of finance in tackling huge global challenges, from climate change to human rights.
Topics explored, among others, will include:
The village of Abergwyngregyn in Snowdonia, North Wales, has formed an Industrial Provident Society to build and manage a 270kw hydro scheme on the Anafon river. Entirely run by volunteers, the planning group has gained all consents and expects to be generating late 2015. Once generating and providing income, all surplus will be gift aided to a charitable trust in the village to provide grants for worthwhile projects in the local area.
This event has been organised by the Church of Scotland's Society, Religion and Technology Project. We hope to provide you with an opportunity to consider how your faith, values and finances interact and how you, and your Church, can make positive decisions about how your money is used in the future.
