Social Enterprise is a way of doing business that benefits the wider community and/or the environment. Those working for a social enterprise are paid but volunteers are also important in achieving the social and environmental benefits.

During this learning session we’ll cover:

• how a social enterprise differs from a main stream private business
• how do you set one up
• what support is available to help you
• what are existing social enterprises doing and how you can learn from them?

Come along and learn how and where to start your journey with some practical exercises.

Priority will be given to participants based in the Cairngorms National Park. If you live outside the geographical area and book a ticket then you may be placed on a waiting list until there is availability for you.

This session will take place on Zoom, as an online session. Once you have booked you will receive an email reminder 2 days before with the joining instructions. Another reminder will go out 2 hours before the session and again 15 minutes before.

This Zoom session will not be recorded. These are friendly and informal meetings and we’d encourage you to get involved and if possible switch on your camera and microphone so that you can interact with the other attendees.

Please contact connect@growbiz.co.uk if you need help with using Zoom.
