Social Enterprise Day Showcase 2025 - Social Enterprises

Social Enterprise Day Showcase 2025 is a celebration of the amazing social enterprises in Norfolk, hosted by FUSE Network in partnership with Norwich Unity Hub. This is your chance to showcase the fantastic work you’re doing as a social enterprise to the public for a day of connection, collaboration, and celebrate our positive impact!

We’ll be welcoming:

• Local residents
• Public sector partners
• Funders and supporters
• VCSE organisations from across Norfolk

This is a great opportunity to share your products and services, connect with new customers and collaborators, attract funding or referrals, and raise the profile of your work.

Plan for the day:

9am: Set up

Arrive to prepare your stand and get ready to welcome guests.

10am–2pm: Open to the public

Guests will sign in at reception and collect a map. This will take them on a route around Carrow House to meet participating organisations at their spaces. The route finishes in Old Carrow House, where your stall will be placed alongside other social enterprises!

2pm–3pm – Drinks reception and networking

All participating social enterprises are invited to join us for informal networking and a celebratory toast to the sector’s impact.

Who is this event for?

This day is designed to celebrate and showcase social enterprises. By social enterprise, we mean organisations that:

• Have a clear social or environmental purpose at the heart of what you do
• Are registered with an appropriate regulator (for example, Companies House or the Charity Commission)
• Reinvest the majority of your profits to further your mission, and have an asset lock in place
• Earn income through trading. This could be by selling products, tickets or services to the public, delivering commissioned services for public sector partners, or trading with other social enterprises, charities, organisations or businesses.

This includes trading charities as social enterprises can take a range of legal forms. For example, you might be a CIC, CIO, charity, charitable company limited by guarantee, co-operative, or other structure that supports this model.

How to take part:

Book a stall in Old Carrow House: Showcase your work among other social enterprises in the event’s final stop and networking space. There will be a cost of £15 per stall for FUSE Network or Norwich Unity Hub members, £30 for non-members.
