The GO Lab team offers online advice sessions on Wednesday mornings as part of the Better Futures Fund Learning and Development Programme.
These sessions are designed to support local authorities, Mayoral Strategic Authorities, voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, and other stakeholders who are exploring, developing or delivering social outcomes partnerships (SOPs) through the Fund.
Whether you are considering if a SOP is right for your organisation, developing a proposal, or working through potential challenges during delivery, our team can offer guidance informed by research, evidence and practical experience.
Topics may include assessing the suitability and feasibility of a SOP approach, developing outcomes frameworks and metrics, understanding data and evaluation, designing effective partnerships, measuring impact, and addressing practical challenges in commissioning and delivery.
You can use the booking facility below to request a 30-minute online session, held over Microsoft Teams. Sessions are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and you will receive confirmation by email once your request has been reviewed.
When booking, please provide as much information as possible about your question, the stage you are at in developing or delivering a SOP, and the support you are looking for. This will help us direct your enquiry to the most appropriate member of the team.
If you have a more urgent enquiry or no suitable slots are available, please email golab@bsg.ox.ac.uk with details of your request. We will respond as soon as possible.

The Fund will bring together national, regional and local government, charities, social enterprises, social investors and philanthropists, to deliver place-based solutions to tackle structural issues and impacts of poverty and disadvantage across England.
