Welcome to the Cumbria Social Enterprise Partnership website!

Are you thinking about starting up a new Social Enterprise in Cumbria?

If so Cumbria Social Enterprise Partnership (CSEP) can possibly help you.

Until early 2015 we are running a programme jointly funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and Cumbria County Council to assist individuals or groups start up their social enterprise. The programme is being delivered by the Wingspan Consulting Consortium on behalf of CSEP.

There are ERDF eligibility criteria that need to be satisfied and a decision is usually provided after the initial meeting with your allocated advisor.

To find out more about the programme and if it could help you, contact rob.randell@socialenterpriseincumbria.org
