Summary
Nick Hurd is the fourth consecutive generation Conservative MP in his family, the UK's former Minister for Civil Society, and he now chairs the Foundation for Social Investment and the GSG Impact network, which spans 48 countries. In this episode, Nick shares his family's tradition of public service (his father was Margaret Thatcher's Foreign Secretary), former Prime Minister David Cameron's vision for the Big Society, the growth of the UK’s social investment market, and the creation of the National Citizen Service (NCS). Looking to the future, Nick talks about the growth of the global impact economy, the role of government, and why long-term change is dependent on patient leadership, cross-sector collaboration, and cross-party support.<hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
