Are you involved in a rural social or community enterprise?

The Survive and Thrive programme aims to help existing, and would be, social and community enterprises build a better business, make more money and achieve better social and environmental impacts – its all about improving your enterprise’s performance:

· Be inspired: share the passion, the ups, the downs – learn from ‘local heroes’ through visits to existing social and community enterprises – some will be planned others can be arranged ’on demand’. If you think your enterprise can host a visit to help others learn from your experience or likewise if you’d like to go an see for yourself how others do things – please get in touch.

· Be informed: uncover trade secrets and build skills through a series of learning events.

· Be connected: get together with social entrepreneurs committed to working on real solutions for their enterprise and opportunities for their communities - two ‘collaborative clusters’ will happen later in the year.
