January is a long old month, isn’t it? It’s cold, you’re broke after Christmas, you go to work in the dark and then go home in the dark and your face takes a tone that Dulex would call ‘pallid grey’. But never fear, I’ve got just the tonic for you. This week I’ve spent every moment at my desk digesting a pile of self-help books, scouring online forums and watching motivational webinars to produce the definitive list of how you can become ‘a new you’.
If I had a pound every time someone subscribed to Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You, I’d now have £10,000. Yep, we hit five figures this week and now reach a massive 0.015625% of the UK population. Literally 156 in every 1 million people read this newsletter, which I think makes it more popular than the Liberal Democrats. Thank you all for subscribing and putting up with it each week. (I now await a flurry of unsubscribes to take us back below the 10000 mark..!)
Have a good week, here’s your news…
Hasn’t that felt like a long week? I’m pretty confident that the first week of January has extra days in it, it’s the only rational explanation for why it feels like Christmas took place about six months ago.
January is of course the time for new year resolutions. Here are mine, which rather fortunately tie in with everything in this week’s social enterprise news. Spooky.
We’ve got lots of workshops and courses lined up for the first few months of 2016. If one of your new year’s resolutions is too learn something new, why not take a look through the courses below and see if anything takes your fancy.
For some of our courses, there is a cost to attend. We invest any surplus from these courses back into the organisation, which enables social entrepreneurs to attend our longer duration programmes either free or at least at a heavily reduced fee.
Hope to see you in 2016!
And there goes 2015…
Never one to shy away from jumping on the nearest available bandwagon, Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You this week contains a round up of some of the best news stories and articles from the year.
Thanks to all of who have sent things my way over the year, and I hope that you’ve enjoyed reading the round up every Friday. See you in 2016!
