Devon Social Entrepreneurs Programme
Do you have an enterprising idea to improve the communities or environment in Devon? Are you a more established social enterprise looking to increase your impact and trading income – or supply the public sector?
Our partners have been offering free events and workshops for start-up or more established social enterprises (a business that trades for a social purpose).
What’s on where and when
From Idea to Income. Get ready to start trading and help your community.
Free Zoom Masterclass, 9.30 ̶ 11am Thursday 28th July
- Are you passionate about helping people or our environment?
- Have you got an idea but don’t know where to start?
- Have you got untapped skills you’d love to use?
This online session will help you get ready to make a difference through trading. It is tailored to those who are out of work or looking for a new way to earn. Learn about:
- Finding income from funders and self-employment
- Your strengths and weaknesses
- What excites you to get things done
- Market research – engaging your community
- How to support yourself as an entrepreneur
Led by SSE social enterprise expert Sam Haydock and presented with our partners Devon Communities Together (DCT), this masterclass will feature speakers who’ve set up community businesses or started working for themselves.
