Alice Thompson
International Speaker & Social Business Leader
An unpaid internship resulted in Alice co-founding Social Bite, an Edinburgh café designed to employ and feed the homeless community. Fast forward nine years and Social Bite now has nine outlets, 100+ employees and has been visited and supported by the likes of George Clooney, the Duchess of Cambridge, Bill Clinton, Leonardo DiCaprio and Meghan Markle. Alice was also pivotal in the establishment of ‘The World’s Big Sleepout’ which took place in 52 cities across the globe. The events saw 60,000 people sleep out on a cold December night to raise awareness and funds on the issue of homelessness. They were able to close down Time Square NYC and Trafalgar Square in London for this and Will Smith and Dame Helen Mirren told a bedtime story to participants who slept out! A recipient of three honorary doctorates, as well as the RSGS Livingstone Medal, which is also held by the likes of Sir David Attenborough and Neil Armstrong, Alice is now an international speaker, mentor and a champion of Business as a power for good. Alice will speak about how to harness the power of purpose in your business or social enterprise in turn, inspiring growth with Impact.
