A wide-ranging discussion at the Digbeth, Highgate and Cheapside Social Enterprise Network meeting this morning concluded that two key activities for the year ahead should be collaborating to increase impact and sustainability and encouraging local individuals and organisations – in the public, private and civil society sectors – to buy from local social enterprises.
Sarah Crawley from iSE reported that the Shop for Change directory has recently been refreshed and is a good starting point for finding local contacts. She urged any social enterprises not yet listed to email hello@i-se.co.uk with their details for inclusion. The listing is free.
