Support to help grow and sustain your social enterprise
Although the allocated quota of 21 businesses was reached by the deadline of 8th January 2010, it is hoped that CSEP will shortly secure additional funding, which will enable us to extend the programme of support to more businesses. The programme will fund up to 2 days specialist consultancy support for existing Cumbrian social enterprises. For more information about the programme and to download an Support Application Form.
 
If you are new to CSEP or would like to find out more about the work of the partnership see our latest Partnership E-newsletters.
 
March is proving a very busy month and there are lots of FREE training opportunities available to members.
 
If you have anything you'd like to tell other social enterprises about, like a job vacancy or a forthcoming event, please email us with details and we will be happy to publish it on the site.
