Virgin Unite - Virgin Unite Initiatives

Leadership and Advocacy

Richard Branson - Virgin Unite Global Leadership Initiatives We’re fortunate that the brand and Richard have a powerful voice, convening power and an entrepreneurial approach that can bring together unlikely marriages from the government, business and social sectors to catalyse longer term systemic change. We incubate new leadership initiatives such as the Elders, the Carbon War Room and the Entrepreneurship Hub. With Richard and the Virgin businesses, we also create powerful global advocacy campaigns such as Screw Business as Usual, the campaign to end the war on drugs and Gaia Rocks, our campaign to help protect our natural assets.

Virgin Unite events

Richard Branson - Virgin Unite Global Leadership Initiatives In some unique settings, like Richard’s own Necker Island, Virgin Unite brings together entrepreneurs, philanthropists and leaders from every walk of life. Together, we talk about the world’s most pressing issues and opportunities and bring together the right people to then act to drive change. This growing a community of brilliant minds, innovative thought leaders and inspiring people is what we call Virgin Unite 24902 (you got it – the number of miles around the world). So pack your bags and join us...

Entrepreneurial Health Initiatives

Virgin Unite Entreprenurial Health Inititiatives With the invaluable support of the Virgin Group and numerous like-minded partners, we are helping some amazing entrepreneurial organisations and pioneers. They create and manage initiatives that tackle unacceptable health issues in rural Africa – all with an entrepreneurial twist. As well as improving the health of their communities, they create employment and act as a true inspiration to others. When people and businesses work together towards a common good some quite remarkable things do happen. We see it all the time: you will too if you “unite” with us.

Youth

The Virgin family is working with young people all over the world to create opportunities for the next generation. We’ve been incredibly inspired by their enthusiasm and commitment to making the world a better place – and know you will be too! We also think it is unacceptable that young people are having to sleep on the streets – so we’re working with some great partners to tackle youth homelessness in all corners of the world. Youth homelessness is a huge global problem. The numbers are staggering: at this moment something like 32,000 young Australians 65,000 young Canadians and over two million young people in the US don’t have a place to call home...
