Social Enterprise Exchange is a new initiative providing a comprehensive programme of support to social enterprises across the Sheffield City Region to promote entrepreneurship and contribute towards job creation, growth and social inclusion.

For those social businesses looking to get involved with taking on a community building or seeking to refurbish and upgrade an existing one you might own or wanting to design a new building from scratch our next Master Class is ideal for you. Looking to engage an architect, understanding the planning requirements, develop a brief to handover and everything in between.

The day is designed to be accessible as possible and is suitable for both Accelerate and Transform clients on the EU part funded Social Enterprise Exchange programme.
