Social Enterprise Kent
Project: Kent and Midway Peer Network
Grant: £27,700
Project: Social Enterprise Kent will deliver and facilitate a peer networking programme for under-represented Kent and Medway social business leaders that want to grow and develop their organisation and trading and social investment. This network will support organisations to access social investment and become more resilient, connected and sustainable organisations. Through online interactive action learning, participants will discuss the challenges local charities and social enterprises face and explore solutions. Regular peer network group sessions will enable groups to share knowledge, processes and tools for best practice. The programme will also address barriers that under-represented groups face in accessing social investment and develop working partnerships throughout the programme. In addition, the project will provide individual one to one support in the form of mentoring, coaching or advice depending on the support required. The programme will support approx. 40 organisations.
