Access support to help grow and develop your social enterprise

7th September 2011

Cumbria Social Enterprise Partnership has delivered an Intermediate Business Support Programme to businesses for the past 2 years and is pleased to announce because the programme has been so successful, it will be continued for 2011-12. The support programme funds up to 2 days specialist consultancy support for existing Cumbrian social enterprises (including sports clubs). This could include support in:

• finance and funding
• procurement
• product development
• sustainability planning
• effective governance
• measuring social benefit
• energy audits/ renewable energy systems
• internal quality systems
  
• ... and more
  

If you are interested in applying for this support download a support programme application form.  You must be an existing social enterprise, and have not had support from this programme before.

If your business is a new social enterprise (up to 3 years old), you may also be eligible for support from the Cumbria Intensive Startup Programme.
