Social Value Business Exchange

The County Durham Pound (CDP) project involves a number of organisations committed to working together to maximise social, economic and environmental value throughout the County. They do this through their procurement decisions; how they operate as ethical, responsible employers and how they allocate grant funding.

Project partners include:

· Believe Housing

· Business Durham

· County Durham & Darlington Fire and Rescue Service

· Durham County Council

· Durham Police and Crime Commissioner’s Office

· Durham University

· Karbon Homes

· Livin

· New College Durham

· Northumbrian Water

Earlier this year, the partners launched the CDP Supporters’ Charter where 32 organisations pledged to support the aims of the project to drive prosperity in Durham.

The CDP founding partners and supporters invite you to join us at this session to explore ways in which we can work together. We have a wide range of organisations looking to do business with Durham-based suppliers, with 1-2-1 appointments available. We will also be sharing insights on Social Value topics through talks and a dedicated exhibition space.

We are delighted to announce that Joy Allen, Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Durham will be opening the event and Michelle Cooper MBE, Chief Executive of Point North will be providing a keynote address. More details on the full agenda to follow.

Breakfast rolls and refreshments will be provided.
