Local Support Organisations

In the past years social enterprise has grown and gained momentum in Falkirk, and a number of local business and third sector support organisations now offer a range of social enterprise specific support alongside generic business support packages.

CVS Falkirk

CVS Falkirk promotes social enterprise as a model of doing business. We work with both existing and start-up social enterprises, and encourage individuals and organisations to be more socially enterprising, through a range of tailored services.

You can find out more about the support we offer social enterprises on our main Social Enterprise page, or contact us by phone: 01324 692000, or email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk

Whether you’re starting up or growing a business, they provide access to publicly-funded business support services. By supporting new and developing businesses across the Falkirk area, they contribute to Scotland’s economic wellbeing.

Our free support available includes:

  • Workshops and events
  • Expert advice
  • Access to Scottish Enterprise programmes
  • Web audits
  • Social media training
  • Aftercare support
  • Links with professional organisations
