Critical Success Factors for Social & Community Enterprise in Deprived Communities
29 April 2010 12:30 - 16:00
Bridge 5 Mill, Manchester's Centre for Sustainable Living
This North West Together We Can Policy & Practice Workshop is organised by ippr north and Manchester Business School Incubator.
Social and community enterprise is likely to be at the forefront of public policy-making in the coming years, with all political parties and local government recognising its importance in transforming public service delivery as the UK economy recovers from recession and begins to tackle the huge public deficit. This workshop will explore the support needs of social and community enterprises in the North West to enable them to continue to rise to this challenge.
The workshop will also provide an opportunity to present the initial findings of research being conducted by ippr north and Manchester Business School. The roundtable discussion of the critical success factors for community and social enterprise will provide vital feedback which will inform the final phase of the research. If you would like to take part in a survey as part of this research project and be entered into a £200 prize draw please click here.
A vegetarian lunch will be provided at 12.30 for a prompt 1pm start and tea and coffee will be available throughout the afternoon.
If you would like to attend please email your details to north@ippr.org for confirmation.
