Community & Voluntary groups and Social Enterprises across the North West have a vital role to play in delivering social value through future public sector-led projects, including City Deal developments, university expansion and other major investments across the region.
This two-part, in-person workshop series will support local social enterprises to strengthen how they communicate their purpose, impact and value to the people and organisations they need to reach; from communities and funders to stakeholders, partners and private contractors.
