Cross-Party Group on Social Enterprise Approved

Posted on June 28, 2018

The proposed Cross-Party Group (CPG) on Social Enterprise has now been approved by Scottish Parliament.

The new CPG builds on the success of the previous national policy forum for social enterprise, and will be an opportunity for social entrepreneurs to connect with MSPs and drive forward the growth of social enterprise.

The group is open to all; Ben Macpherson, SNP MSP for Edinburgh Northern and Leith, has been elected as Convener of the group, with Rachael Hamilton of the Scottish Conservatives and Andy Wightman of the Scottish Greens as Vice Conveners.
