When Business meets Charity - Noam Kostucki talks at University of Buckingham - part 1

Noam Kostucki believes that entrepreneurs and business leaders don't have to chose between financial profitability and having a positive social impact. He explains how every company can use their marketing budget to grow their PR by actually doing social good as a core of their business rather than throwing money at charities as part of their "Corporate Social Responsibility". Similarly he tells us how charities can become fully sustainable and independent by developing the skills needed to create products and services needed by the public. The social enterprise model is rich and flexible. Check out how Noam has used this to develop Seeducation, the social enterprise he co-founded.

Seeducation is trying to achieve is a movement; they want to host the world's greatest thinkers, movers, shakers, concepts and practical lessons in education, and build a world where knowledge is shared openly, where teaching and training is given because people realise it will actually benefit themselves and everyone else. Seeducation gives a voice for people to improve education and campaign for change, host a collection of free professional knowledge-share and training media and provide an intensive course for passionate and talented individuals that focuses on development through creativity and practical involvement in real-life projects, with the help of mentors, trainers and experts in their respective fields.

British chaity sector is a money spinning machine !!! I was actualy thinking of looking into it for a future documentary !!! very little money actualy goes to the cause itself, it is all spend on paying high wages to people who run these charities so they can have high profile lifestyles !!! if i was not badly discriminated against in the charity sector by those fat hags i probably wont even look into it !! haha but I will do now !! i have begged these people for jobs !!!

Bussiness or charity what difference does it makes ? I live in UK and most of the charities are infact profitable businesses !!! people who run these charities make money out of them, very little money goes to the actual cause !! most of the money is spend paying explosively high wages to people just sit on a desk all day and do absolutely nothing !!! having applied for several jobs in charity sector and coming acros the most nasty, discriminatory, vile bunch of people !! they are in it for £££!
