SHINE Unconference Founding Partners

Since its launch in 2008, SHINE has attracted a range of public and private sector organisations as partners and sponsors. Each have contributed because they either play a key role in supporting social entrepreneurs or they support the social enterprise sector as a whole. We are very proud to work with the following partners to produce SHINE 2011:
