SUMMARY:🌎 Exploring Mutual or Cooperative Ownership: Peer to Peer Sessions
DESCRIPTION:Considering or preparing your business for mutual or cooperative ownership? This programme is for you.\nMutual and cooperative businesses are becoming increasingly popular in the UK\, largely because—when set up well—they are highly resilient. These models can work equally well for new start-ups or as part of a business succession plan for established organisations. \n \nFor new businesses\nA cooperative or mutual model enables shared ownership\, democratic decision-making\, and strong stakeholder engagement. It builds trust and long-term focus\, aligns incentives between members and the business\, supports fair value distribution\, and encourages commitment\, innovation\, and sustainability from the outset. \nFor existing businesses\nAs a succession option\, a mutual model helps preserve long-term purpose by prioritising members over shareholders. It supports continuity\, employee engagement\, and cultural stability\, reduces the risk of asset stripping\, and enables a gradual\, values-led transfer of ownership while maintaining independence\, resilience\, and sustainable growth. \nIf you are unsure whether this model is right for your business—or how to approach setting up or transitioning to it—we can help. \nWe have recently delivered a series of highly regarded peer-to-peer activities designed to reduce isolation among small business owners and managers. These sessions have led to tangible innovation and productivity improvements\, as participants learn from trusted peers and build strong\, relevant local networks. Many participants also told us that day-to-day pressures often keep them working in their business rather than on it. The sessions provided valuable time and space to step back\, build confidence and resilience\, and gain practical insights from others facing similar challenges. \nBuilding on this positive feedback\, we are now extending the programme and bringing together a cohort of small and medium-sized business owners and managers who want to explore setting up or transitioning to a mutual or cooperative business. \nProgramme aims\nThe aim of the group is to harness collective experience to help participants: \n\nUnderstand the benefits of mutual and cooperative business models\nMake informed decisions about structure and approach\nDevelop scalable\, sustainable\, and profitable mutual or cooperative businesses\nMinimise risk\nAccess additional support and expertise\n\nWhy join?\nSetting up a cooperative or mutual business can seem attractive—but is it right for you? This programme will help you understand whether this approach fits your goals and what is involved in making it work effectively. \nHow will it work?\nThe programme runs over six weeks and includes six two-hour facilitated group sessions. Participants will explore opportunities and challenges together\, using collective experience to broaden options\, make informed decisions\, and take practical action. \nEach session is led by an experienced SME owner. Discussions are non-competitive\, confidential\, and supportive\, creating a safe environment where participants can explore ideas openly and without judgement. \nAfter each session\, delegates will receive: \n\nA concise session summary\nPractical tools and checklists to support further thinking and application\n\nThese resources can be used at a pace that suits your business. In addition\, each delegate is entitled to two hours of one-to-one coaching with the programme facilitator. \nWhat will be covered?\nDiscussion topics will be shaped by the group but may include: \n\nUnderstanding mutual and cooperative models: options\, benefits\, challenges\, and beneficiaries\nBusiness planning: vision\, strategy\, and member value propositions\nBusiness structure: ownership and governance\nPeople and operations\nFinancial planning: capital requirements and funding options\nLegal and regulatory considerations\nMember engagement and participation\nAvailable help and support\n\nPeer group discussions and coaching sessions are also open to any specific issues participants wish to explore. \nPlaces are limited for each cohort.\nIf you would like to benefit from shared experience\, practical support\, and expert facilitation\, we encourage you to book early to secure your place. \nWhere and When \nThis programme will be delivered weekly online via Zoom\, on Wednesdays from 10am – 12pm. \n\nWorkshop 1 | Wednesday 18 March\, 10am – 12pm\nWorkshop 2 | Wednesday 25 March\, 10am – 12pm\nWorkshop 3 | Wednesday 1 April\, 10am – 12pm\nWorkshop 4 | Wednesday 8 April\, 10am – 12pm\nWorkshop 5 | Wednesday 15 April\, 10am – 12pm\nWorkshop 6 | Wednesday 22 April\, 10am – 12pm\n\nRegister now

SUMMARY:🌍 Carbon Literacy for SMEs Course: Online
DESCRIPTION:Who is this course designed for?\nIndividuals or teams working within Small & Medium Sized Businesses (SMEs) within the York & North Yorkshire regions. This is a great opportunity to learn\, with colleagues and peers\, about the causes and impacts of Climate Change as well as the actions SMEs can put in place to reduce emissions and help secure a Net Zero future. \n \nCourse Objectives\n1. Establish Climate Change Fundamentals: \nWherever you are on your climate journey\, deep-dive into the causes & impacts of our Anthropocene climate crisis to understand key emissions drivers and put the fire in the belly for climate action\, personally & professionally. What is the greenhouse effect? What are the greenhouse gases and which are most potent? Why are we so confident in the science? What are the impacts of climate change on people & planet? \n2. Understand Climate Policy & Protest: \nWhat is the global policy landscape on climate and what’s happening in the UK and likely to impact SMEs? We’ll talk about COPs (Conference of the Parties – not police!)\, the UK Climate Change Act of 2008\, the UK Decarbonisation Plan\, Sustainability Reporting & legislation for SMEs. This section is designed to give you understanding of how we got to where we are today and how the future might shape\, through the lens of policy. We will also reflect on the role of protest in shaping the past\, current & future climate change landscape.  Both are important grounding for individuals & businesses. \n3. Destigmatise Climate Goals & Measurement: \n“What gets measured gets done!” Learn the lingo of Net Zero & Carbon Footprinting\, at an individual and organisational level. What does it mean to pledge to Net Zero? How does that differ from Carbon Neutral? Should we be offsetting? What do we mean by Scope 1\, 2 & 3? Where do I start?! \n4. Take Climate Action as an Individual \nLooking at our own personal footprints through the lens of the WWF Carbon Footprint Tool and our own key levers of change. \n5. Take Climate Action as an Employee & Business \nLooking at the 7 SME Steps to Net Zero\, from leadership engagement to building a climate transition plan. This will help tackling climate change and emissions as an organisation and employee seem more feasible\, approachable\, logical and bitesize for SMEs\, giving clarity on where to start and the stepping stones on the journey to Net Zero. \n6. Become a Confident Climate Communicator & Collaborate \nExploring what it takes as an individual and as an organisation to talk confidently about climate change and climate action and how to positively influence others\, touching on impact reports\, social media\, websites\, tone of voice & good old fashioned face to face conversations.  We’ll touch on the important role of collaboration in progressing climate action – together we go further & faster. \n  \nCourse Outline\nThe course is split into 2 distinct sections. The first half of the course focuses on understanding climate change\, policy and frameworks. The second half focuses on what this means for SMEs and employees in building a climate action plan. \n\nCourse Details\n📍 Online | MS Teams \n📆 Wednesday 18 & Thursday 19 March \n🕑 9am – 1pm (both days) \n  \nCertification\nAt the end of the training course\, we will invite you to pledge 2 actions\, one as an individual and one as part of a wider group. These action pledges must be submitted within 2 weeks of completing your course in order to be certified Carbon Literate & be awarded your shiny certificate. Please note\, you are not guaranteed certification. Certification is awarded to individuals who are deemed to have pledged significant individual and group actions. But don’t worry\, we will support you to find the right and significant actions for you. \n  \nAbout the Trainer\nAli Fisher founded Plans With Purpose in 2017 with a mission to put regeneration at the heart of business progress. Ali’s day job is to act as an independent Sustainability & Diversity Business Mentor\, supporting organisations to approach these complex & nuanced subjects more strategically\, with step change ambitions for positive impact for people and planet.

SUMMARY:[FULL] The Courageous Females Programme (Northallerton)
DESCRIPTION:The Courageous Females support programme is for Women in Business (owners or their teams) who want to reach their potential and enjoy higher levels of confidence and resilience. \n \nFor Women in Business (owners or their teams) who want to reach their potential and enjoy higher levels of confidence and resilience. \n\nDo you ever feel as if you can’t be you? That you have to put on an act?\nPerhaps you think you’re not good enough or that you don’t fit in?\nPerhaps you are comparing yourself to others or worry what others think?\n\nBut that’s not who you want to be! You know you have the ability to succeed\, but right now\, it feels out of reach. \nThis can often leads to a spiral of  feeling low in confidence\, overloaded with self-doubt\, living life out of balance\, feeling stretched beyond capacity\, and having a head so full of thoughts that you simply can’t switch off. \nNot to mention\, how all of this can affect your self-worth\, making it far less likely that you will take opportunities that you know you could take to grow your business\, more likely to have a lower turnover as you’re not charging your worth\, not pursuing funding opportunities or progress up the career ladder as quickly as you are able. \nBut\, it doesn’t have to be that way. Perhaps you know that life can be lived on different terms\, that you could reach your potential and not get in your own way but are not sure how? \nThe Growth Hub are proud to announce a further peer-to-peer cohort of the Courageous Females Programme\, following a series of fully booked cohorts in recent years. Starting in October 2025\, this will be facilitated by Andrea Morrison Coaching and hosted in York\, and will be available to businesses located in the York and North Yorkshire. \nIf you’re thinking ‘this is me’\, this is the programme for you. \nThe Courageous Females Programme is underpinned by ‘State of Mind’ Coaching\, a cutting-edge psychological understanding\, there are no tools or techniques\, you will explore a deeper understanding of your own psychology facilitating real\, sustainable change. This will leave you feeling far more naturally empowered enabling you to move beyond stress\, low self-esteem and burnout to one of confidence\, resilience and balance so that you can take opportunities that are right for you\, grow your businesses or progress your career\, and ultimately fulfil your potential. \nThe Programme will cover:\nConstant Confidence \nRediscover your confidence – how to feel confident in yourself\, trust yourself and your decisions. \nRobust Resilience \nHow to bounce back stronger than ever\, no matter what work (or life) throws at you. \nEmotional Wellness \nThe secret to letting go of stress\, overthinking\, fear\, doubt and worry. \nStepping out and feeling free \nHow to follow what you know is right\, stepping out of your comfort zone and stepping up to the challenge\, feeling free of whatever it is that is holding you back. \nCreating Flourishing Working Relationships \nHow to take out the stress of work relationships\, how to find understanding & compassion in the most challenging of relationships. How to support colleagues and team members to reduce stress and tension and to bring out the best in each other. \nInspired Living \nHow to tap into your innate capacity for creativity\, fresh ideas and even a little ingenuity \nTrue Balance & How to Flourish at Life \nLearn the secret behind creating a work/life balance with ease. How to thrive in your work\, irrespective of your current circumstances. How to feel joyful\, hopeful and excited for your future – no matter what it may hold! \nThese areas are not exhaustive and the programme will accommodate the needs of those on the programme. \nTestimonials\n“LIFE CHANGING! The way this course has filtered into everyday life – business\, personal relationships\, household life\, is amazing. I’m now far more conscious of my thoughts and therefore my reactions. Reducing the ‘chatter’ in my mind so that it distracts me less. Realising that all emotions/thoughts are ok\, are a signal to how I am doing generally and will pass (so not to worry about them). Trust my gut – very helpful for making decisions in my business rather than agonising over everything. Ihopetoremainconnectedtothisgroupofwomenwhichwillexpandmynetworkbothpersonallyand professionally (as a sole trader this is really important).” – Anonymous \n“Andrea\, took a lot of things I’d already heard and knew about and explained them in ways that felt actionable and achievable. The biggest thing for me is that she reassures you that you are human and experiencing a range if thoughts and emotions is normal. It’s all about how you respond to them when they arise. I honestly feel like a different person after the course. The course has helped me recognise that I created a lot of drama out of things that really didn’t matter. I always felt like things were going wrong all the time. I realise now that it was just me making it all up. I feel a lot more relaxed about other peoples behaviour and in control of my own narrative of different situations.” – Poppy Collier \n“I decided on a route for my business after following my gut feeling and listening to my wisdom – My business will now be taking a different direction to meet the needs of the new bride we have shopping with us. I have been able to identify that the questions i keep asking myself\, or the doubts I have\, or the procrastination are just thoughts. It has allowed me to see things clearer in my business and be braver in making decisions. Re-frames the way you think about EVERYTHING. It has brought calmness to my thoughts and to my life. I feel reassured that I’m taking the right steps with the support of a fabulous mentor and group of women.” – Diana McMann \n“I found the course incredibly inciteful on both a personal and professional level. I found Andrea was a brilliant facilitator and enjoyed connecting with other business women. It has changed my mindset which going forward will enable me to make decisions which fit with who I am as an individual and what I want my business to offer. It has been empowering which I believe will impact every aspect of my business. It has given me a different perspective and I already have ideas on how I can develop and grow my business on this understanding.” – Gemma Antcliffe Counselling \nAbout the Courageous Females Programme\nThis peer-to-peer programme is fully funded by the UK Government through York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority’s allocation of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund\, and is open to businesses within York & North Yorkshire. All you need to commit is your time to the sessions.  It is important that you attend them all to create maximum benefit. \n  \nProgramme details\nDates: 4\, 5 and 11 March – 10am – 4.30pm \nVenue: Evolution Northallerton \n  \nThis is now full.\nPlease complete the form below to be added to our waiting list.
