The Paddock
Join us for a tour of The Paddock, our seven-acre urban farm and certified social enterprise, and discover how social procurement can create meaningful local impact.
The session will explore practical opportunities for organisations to direct their purchasing power towards social enterprises and generate positive employment, community and environmental outcomes.
You will also hear from GROW about the progress of social procurement across the Geelong region, along with Hope Soap, a local social enterprise supporting people with lived experience of the justice system through employment and wraparound support.
The event will conclude with morning tea provided by a local social enterprise, demonstrating how everyday procurement decisions can strengthen communities and create lasting social value.
