Social Enterprise Workshop – Business Canvas
18 Feb 2025
Join us at the amazing Rural Arts centre in Thirsk to find out more about how a business canvas can be a key element of successful business planning for social entrepreneurs. Led by experienced enterprise coach, Paul, you will have time to explore and develop your own business canvas, helping you to plan for a sustainable and socially-driven community business. There will also be time to network and learn from your peers, ask questions and sign up to other workshops.
Social Vision has teamed up with Community First Yorkshire to offer micro-grants and a support package to people in North Yorkshire with a business idea that will make their community a better place to live, work or play.
Grants of £500 are available to budding social entrepreneurs to test their idea or buy the tools they’ll need to launch their business. There will also be networking events, Action Learning Sets, and a package of support from Community First Yorkshire to set up and grow your idea.
As part of this new programme, Community First Yorkshire will be running a range of start-up sessions, enterprise workshops and a mentoring programme. Taking place online and in-person, these free sessions aim to improve confidence, capacity and capability in starting up or growing a social enterprise in North Yorkshire.
