Are you running a CIC or a CIO and want to access business support?

Do you dream of setting up a business aligned to your social and ethical values?

Join us for a midweek summer business brunch in Morpeth and get useful information about running a successful social enterprise. You’ll also learn about the BIPC’s core services and how these could help your social enterprise to thrive!

Speakers include three of our BIPC Experts in Residence:

  • Purpose-led business consultant, Kate Duffy – top tips for applying for funding
  • Neurodiversity in the workplace expert, John McDonald – tips for neurodiversity/disability inclusivity in social enterprises
  • Organisational Foundations and Resilience for Purpose Led Businesses specialist, Kay Jones – social enterprise governance and resilience

There will also be time for networking over brunch, and our choice of venue is apt: Barnabas Safe & Sound is a charity aiming to make a difference to the lives of young people in Morpeth and Northumberland.

We hope to see you there!

 

This event is funded by North East Mayor Kim McGuinness and The North East Mayoral Strategic Authority, supported by Northumberland Council.
