FiCDundee SEs Aspiring Event

On March 13, Faith in Community Dundee organized a small event on Social Enterprise in collaboration with Dundee Social Enterprise Network (SEN) at The Factory Skatepark. A total of 8 people, representing different churches and projects, participated in the event. Susan Smith from Dundee SEN introduced the concept of social enterprise - its definition, criteria and legal status and explored options to manage a business model for charity oriented entities. After the introduction session, Peter Friend from Helm Training shared his experience of running a social enterprise - its ethos and community engagement. Towards the end of the event, the floor was open for discussion where participants looked at how to get started and what kind of support - resources, knowledge and experience - is available to budding social enterprises, through Dundee SEN and other organizations.
