We’ve been told about two new programmes for 2018 for Somerset social enterprises which sound really interesting. Both are run by the School for Social Entrepreneurs based in Dartington but it is running special programmes for Somerset.
The Somerset Social Entrepreneurs Development programme 2018 is open for applications and aimed specifically at existing social enterprises and community organisations located or operating in Somerset who want to become more entrepreneurial and increase their trading revenue. The programme will run from February to May 2018, delivered in Somerset and all the information is on the SSE website found here. Deadline is 14th January 2018.
The second course is a 3-Day Intensive for Start Ups in the Devon & Somerset region. This is a three-day introduction to social enterprise is for anyone with a social enterprise idea or in early stages and will give an introduction to starting and setting up a social business. All the information can be found at here. The deadline is also 14th January 2018 and will run two days in January and one in March.
