Social Enterprise

Training Designed Specifically for Social Enterprise


We recognise that although people that manage social enterprises face many of the same issues as with any other business they are special. Social enterprises trade for a social purpose rather than to purely make money. The reason for being, the ethos and the motivation of these organisations is quite different.  

Our efforts are directed at helping not for profit organisations become and remain sustainable to ensure that they are there for the long term to continue to serve the needs of their customers.  We achieve this through working with individuals, small teams and whole organisations.

We work collaboratively to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to help people transform their vision into reality.

We deliver a variety of services including:

  • Functioning effectively as a board
  • External & Internal Training Days
