What a brilliant night at the NI Social Enterprise Awards on Friday evening at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Belfast!

Perfectly compered by talented host Cate Conway it was a pleasure to support our sector and catch up with so many familiar faces and friends from over the years.

The room was buzzing with energy as we celebrated the people and organisations delivering incredible impact and making a real difference across Northern Ireland’s social enterprise sector.

It was also great to have Laura Hickson from McLaughlin and Harvey join us for the gala evening.

A massive congratulations to all the nominees and winners on the night, and especially to Jacinta Linden, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award.

A truly well deserved recognition of her contribution to the sector! ✨👏

Last Friday, we were delighted to exhibit at the 'Construction Close-Up: Navigating Social Value' event, held at The Ebrington Hotel in Derry.

With 100+ delegates in the room, it was a great morning filled with many engaging conversations and new connections.

At the heart of it all was a shared ambition: helping construction firms plan, deliver and evidence their social value activities in ways that create meaningful, lasting change in our communities.

We also heard excellent presentations from Esther Barnes and Desiree Blamey, followed by an in-depth panel discussion featuring Barry Kerr and Paula Quigley, hosted by Jim Fitzpatrick.

It was also great to see so many fantastic organisations exhibiting on the day, including Construction Futures, WOMENSTEC & Diversity Mark.

Huge kudos to Gail Kinkead and the Construction Employers Federation team for organising another excellent event and bringing people together to champion social value across Northern Ireland 👏

Together, we can turn social value commitments into tangible actions that create lasting benefits for local people and communities.

A fantastic launch event today for our new service, Social Value Connect!

This dedicated service is aimed at helping contractors and social enterprises to plan and deliver meaningful social value.

It was a brilliant morning, bringing together organisations from across the private and public sector, sharing our vision for Social Value Connect, and exploring how we can work collaboratively to create greater social, economic and environmental impact across communities.

Thank you to our speakers Gareth Osborne, Gail Kinkead and Sara Neilson.

Special thanks to FLYNN - Maurice Flynn & Sons Ltd for hosting us today and to Matt and Mo from Change the Lens for photography and Emmett and his team at We Are Stepping Stones NI for the fantastic lunch

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, contributed to the conversation and helped make the event a success.

We’re looking forward to building on the conversations from today and developing future collaborations and strategic partnerships to help deliver even greater social value in Northern Ireland.

We are very proud to announce the launch of 'Social Value Connect' a new dedicated service designed to help contractors and suppliers plan, deliver and demonstrate meaningful social value as part of their procurement and business activity.

Commenting on the launch, Stephen McGarry said:

“Social Value Connect is a natural extension of Work West’s long-standing commitment to social enterprise. For nearly four decades, we’ve supported organisations that create real social impact, and we understand both the challenges and opportunities within this space.

This new service brings that experience together, helping contractors deliver meaningful social value while strengthening the social enterprise ecosystem across Northern Ireland.

Thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund Northern Ireland and National Lottery players for supporting us to develop and launch the new ‘Social Value Connect’ service."
