Am between a long morning meeting and a long afternoon meeting, so just thought I’d pack in the round-up of links of interest to social entrepreneurs and the wider movement:

– Nice profile of Craig Dearden-Phillips in today’s Society Guardian; I have huge respect for Craig and what he’s achieved, and the interview demonstrates his clear and open approach. SSE is also endorsing his new book, Your Chance to Change the World: the no-fibbing guide to social entrepreneurship. The launch is next week, so I’ll have an update then.

– Another one of the social enterprise ambassadors, Peter Holbrook, is also widely regarded as someone who walks the walk, and he’s put up another great blog post on why "Food is a four-letter word"; click on ‘Blogs’ from the main website

– And yet more of them: congratulations to Dai Powell and Steve Sears of HCT and ECT respectively; they’ve combined successfully with the ingeniously-named E&HCT to win a transport contract at the Olympics.

– Social Firms UK have put out a template for a share-based version of the CIC structure

– New social investment website, powered by Rod Schwartz / Catalyst: SocialInvestments.com; see also the Good Deals conference, which looks like being a great event in this area

– David Wilcox asks: "Are big innovations possible within large non-profits?"

– Social Innovation Conversations podcast: Chip Heath on how to write a good mission (more interesting than it sounds….)

– And, for humour’s sake, here’s a piece from the Onion on a philanthropist wanting to give youngsters the opportunities he never had….in pole-vaulting
