Join us for a four-week journey, designed especially for Social Enterprise organisations who want to deepen their understanding of social value.

Together we will:
- Learn what social value means in practice for community organisations
- Share challenges and successes from across the sector
- Support each other to find new approaches and ideas
- Build confidence in talking about and demonstrating impact
