Social enterprises are businesses designed to address social or environmental issues while generating profit.
In Sunderland, a growing community of these enterprises play a crucial role by providing essential services, creating employment opportunities and promoting innovative business practices.
But while Sunderland has a fantastic social enterprise sector, increasing environmental, social and economic challenges mean the nation needs social enterprises today more than it ever has done.
That’s why we would love to invite you to join us for our free and engaging ‘The Position of Social Enterprise within the Changing Face of the City’ event, where we’ll explore the incredible role social enterprises are playing within our community, what the future landscape of social enterprise could look like, and what we need to achieve this vision.
Delivered by the North East BIC’s specialist social enterprise advisers, the event will cover:
- Understanding the current landscape: Review the existing landscape for social enterprises in Sunderland, their impacts, and challenges.
- Imagine the future: Define the role of social enterprises in Sunderland by 2025 and beyond.
- Design the ecosystem: Determine what resources, support systems, and policies are needed to achieve this.
- Action plan development: Create the beginnings of a roadmap for stakeholders to support the growth and sustainability of social enterprises.
Expect a morning filled with thought-provoking discussions and plenty of opportunities to share your ideas. Whether you’re an existing social entrepreneur or someone with an interest in your local community, this event is for you!
