Social Economy Network: November 2025: Celebrating the Social Economy for Social Enterprise Day

For Social Enterprise Day, this session will be a celebration of social economy organisation in South Kesteven. Come and hear the stories of some social economy organisations in the area, from those just starting out to the more established. Explore the range of social benefits the sector brings to the area. Come ready to celebrate your successes and hopes for the coming year. Let’s rejoice in the diversity of the community, voluntary, social enterprise and social purpose businesses in the area.

What is the Social Economy Network?
The Social Economy Network aims to connect, inspire and strengthen South Kesteven’s social economy. This programme of free online events will provide a relaxed and purposeful space for peer learning, collaboration, and knowledge exchange.

The sessions are open to all organisations working with a social purpose in the social economy, including:

• Charities and voluntary groups of all sizes
• Social enterprises and CICs looking to connect and learn
• Community-based organisations seeking inspiration and collaboration opportunities

Places are free and booking is essential.

Sign up for other network sessions. We will meet online at noon on the third Thursday of the month, between October 2025 and March 2026. Each session will be themed, with guest speakers and practical discussions on issues that matter most to local organisations.
