Delivered by Emma Ives, Firstport, this practical workshop will help you to think about how to break down your idea into smaller elements.

Bailliefields Community Hub

Are you thinking about starting a social enterprise? Or you might already be established and wanting to add a new project, in the process of founding a new organisation, or just have a socially minded idea you want to explore? If so, this workshop is for you.Getting your idea off the ground is one of the biggest challenges for start-up social enterprises and often leaves entrepreneurs struggling with where to start. A way to address this can be to pilot your ideas, in part or in full, giving you an opportunity to test the market, gather evidence and start to build on your idea. Delivered by Emma Ives, Business Advisor at <a href="https://www.firstport.org.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Firstport</a> (Scotland’s agency for start-up social entrepreneurs and a key funder for the sector), this practical workshop will help you to think about how to break down your idea into smaller elements – to hopefully get you started more quickly. A key component will be thinking collaboratively – whether that is partners, stakeholders, customers or beneficiaries – you can achieve more by making the most of your connections. Join our CVS Falkirk &amp; District team at Bailliefields Community Hub on Thursday 30th November and meet other aspiring and established social entrepreneurs.
