The Social Enterprise Hive is an open support session for anyone working in – or simply curious about – the world of social enterprise. Whether you’re just exploring an idea or already making impact, this is your space to think, connect, and move forward.
When you book a place at the Hive, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in a short 1:1 session with the Social Enterprise Dumfries and Galloway team but that’s only part of the experience. While you wait, join the Hive in conversation and peer learning, connecting with others from the local social enterprise community.
Expect a relaxed, friendly environment where ideas are shared, challenges are understood, and opportunities start to take shape.
- A listening ear for your ideas, challenges, and ambitions
- Practical guidance on strategy, funding, partnerships, and growth
- Signposting to useful resources, organisations, and next steps
- Inspiration from successful social enterprises and innovative approaches
- New connections across Dumfries and Galloway
This isn’t a formal workshop or a one-way presentation – it’s a conversation-driven, supportive space designed to give you tailored input and the chance to learn from others on a similar journey.
Whether you are curious about what social enterprise really means, taking your first steps as a social entrepreneur, looking to grow your impact, or exploring partnerships or new collaborations, the Hive offers a practical and welcoming place.
The Hive is part of a programme funded by the UK Government.
