A huge thank you to those who attended our first workshop, A Beginner’s Guide to Tendering & Public Sector Procurement. We hope you all found it as useful and interesting as we did! We would of course also like to extend our thanks to Claire from Just Enterprise for her brilliant session.
Our next free workshop is Take Your Social Enterprise from Idea to Reality, on Thursday 30th November, 10:30am – 12:30pm, again at Bailliefields Community Hub.
Are you thinking about starting a social enterprise? Or you might already be established and wanting to add a new project, in the process of founding a new organisation, or just have a socially minded idea you want to explore? If so, this workshop is for you.
Delivered by Emma Ives, Business Advisor at Firstport (Scotland’s agency for start-up social entrepreneurs and a key funder for the sector), this practical workshop will help you to think about how to break down your idea into smaller elements – to hopefully get you started more quickly.
Getting your idea off the ground is one of the biggest challenges for start-up social enterprises and often leaves entrepreneurs struggling with where to start. A way to address this can be to pilot your ideas, in part or in full, giving you an opportunity to test the market, gather evidence and start to build on your idea.
A key component will be thinking collaboratively – whether that is partners, stakeholders, customers or beneficiaries – you can achieve more by making the most of your connections.
Join our team and meet other aspiring and established social entrepreneurs. Together we will run through some of the practicalities of testing your idea, and get you thinking about a manageable way to take your project from idea to reality.
Places are limited to 25 people, and booking is essential. Tea, coffee, and a (delicious!) free light lunch will be provided by the Rainbow Muslim Women’s Group.
