To celebrate 150 years since the publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the British Library is launching a free exhibition which explores how Alice has captured our imaginations for so many years. The British Library team has also created a fantastic pop-up shop. A whimsical space piled high with wondrous gifts inspired by the earliest drawings of Alice and her friends.

Each year, Inspire! supports around 4,000 young people aged 14 – 19 in North and East London to gain first-hand experience of working life by undertaking an unpaid work placement with a local employer. Could you help us by hosting a student for a week, two weeks or even for one day per week over several months?

Growth, even good growth, also brings challenges. When you go from a handful of self-motivated entrepreneurs to a team of directors and employees, how do you maintain your inspiration, the drive and values that led you to start your enterprise in the first place? Three growing enterprises will be sharing how their organisation influences society.
