How do I register for support?

Do you:

  1. Have an idea for an enterprise but not yet set up? Or already running an organisation but want to change to a Social Enterprise model?

  2. Want to set up in your enterprise in Stockport?

If your answer is yes to both of the above questions we’d love to hear from you.

What is a Social Enterprise?

 

Social enterprises are businesses. Like any other business, they seek to make a profit and succeed commercially. But at the heart of a Social Enterprise is its social mission to support people, place and planet.

Social enterprises work in every sector of the UK economy, creating and trading consumer products and services, providing local community resources, running creative agencies, arts organisations, recycling projects, cafes and restaurants, cleaning services, waste management companies and delivering services.
