We will provide practical advice and support to plan, start-up and develop your social enterprise so that it has the best chance of succeeding in providing income to support front-line services.

For example, food related projects bring communities together and when designed with social enterprise in mind, can tap into profitable markets to generate real income. We’re already working with several community centres to help them create food-based social enterprises that will mean that older person’s luncheon clubs can carry on running after local authority cuts.
