Social Enterprise

We support a huge range of new and existing voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) and small businesses through our free support and paid consultancy. We work with the VCSE sector with anything from grant fundraising to governance and much more.

Our support can help organisations with:

• fundraising
• governance
• strategy
• HR
• theory of change
• partnerships
• social impact.

We offer free support to social enterprises, VCSEs and SMEs through two funded programmes:

South East Business Boost, in partnership with Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce, provides eligible enterprises with 12 hours of free in-depth business support. This is open to all start-ups and small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We would also encourage charities to apply, as long as you have a trading arm and a Companies House number.

Peer Networks are designed for business leaders who want to grow and develop their organisation for future success. The programme is now available to any organisation that has operated for at least one year, has an aspiration to improve and is based in Kent or Medway.

We also run an annual social enterprise conference to share the latest learning from the sector and provide networking opportunities.
