Join Junction Point for a day celebrating, connecting and sharing best practice with North East social enterprises!

About this event

BIPC North East are delighted to be sponsoring this event for the third year running! This year’s theme is all about Thriving on Purpose. By this we mean both making the conscious decision to thrive as people leading change, as well as achieving real, lasting change through our missions.

We know that social enterprises and the people who lead them face unique challenges — often balancing financial pressures with an unwavering commitment to making a difference. This event will showcase how, despite those challenges, changemakers across the North East are finding ways not only to survive, but to thrive: creating bold, resilient, and purposeful futures.

We want participants to leave, feeling:

  • Inspired through lived experience and expert insight
  • Equipped with practical tools and strategies
  • Connected with likeminded people working toward collective action
