Member Event: The Future of Social Business

Industry and the economy has changed extensively in Britain and while some areas of the UK have benefited, many local communities have suffered with unemployment, loss of local businesses, as well as declining standards and aspirations.

Business in the Community has been working with employers in Great Yarmouth to provide a comprehensive support service for start-up social enterprises. By supporting this development social enterprises are helping to create jobs, develop skills and bring a boost to the local economy.

The next phase of the project will require the social enterprises to become self-sustaining and they are looking to engage with a variety of organisations to work in partnership with. From becoming a future supplier to offering employee engagement opportunities there are a number of ways that you can engage with social enterprises.

Join us at this free event to:

– Learn about the opportunities that exist in engaging social enterprises through your supply chain.

– Explore employee engagement ideas, partnership working and referral routes that can evidence social impact and achieve positive outcomes.

– Discover how the Social Enterprise Mentoring programme has helped to create jobs and boost skills in the local community.

Lunch and light refreshments will be served during the event with a number of networking opportunities.
