Social Enterprise Advice
We offer advice to social enterprises and CICs and are working with new and growing Social Enteprises across London and the South East. Our largest project has been at the Bromley By Bow Business Centre, and more recently we helped set up a community kitchen in Limehouse which is now making a health profit. In Surrey, we have been instrumental in raising, as over £10,000 of funding for In House Entertainment, a new community performance social enterprise in Godalming!
We offer one and two day training courses covering project management, procurement, how to win public sector contracts and how to raise money for your social enterprise.
