Our Social Enterprise Hive is an open, interactive support session designed for individuals and organisations working in – or curious about – the world of Social Enterprise.
Participants book a slot to attend the Hive and, while waiting for their 1:1 session, they’re encouraged to network, share experiences, and connect with others in the local Social Enterprise community.
The Social Enterprise Dumfries and Galloway team will be on hand throughout the event and will take short 1:1 sessions with attendees. Their role is to:
• Listen to your ideas, challenges, or opportunities
• Signpost you to useful resources, partners, or next steps
• Offer support on strategy, funding, partnerships, and growth
• Showcase examples of successful social enterprises and innovation
• Connect you with others in Third Sector D and G and beyond who can help you move forward.
This event intends to create a relaxed, interactive, conversational environment where attendees can gain tailored guidance while also benefit from peer-to-peer learning and networking.
Whether you’re just curious about Social Enterprise, starting out as a Social Entreprenuer, looking to scale your impact, or exploring new collaborations, the Social Enterprise Hive offers a practical, supportive space to find direction and inspiration.
