Access support to help grow and develop your social enterprise

Although the allocated quota of 21 businesses was reached by the deadline of 8th January, it is hoped that CSEP will shortly secure additional funding, which will enable us to extend the programme of support to more businesses.  The support programme will fund up to 2 days specialist consultancy support for existing Cumbrian social enterprises. This could include support in:

  • finance and funding
  • procurement
  • product development
  • sustainability planning
  • effective governance
  • measuring social benefit
  • energy audits/ renewable energy systems
  • internal quality systems
  • ... and more

If your business is a new social enterprise (up to 3 years old), you may also be eligible for support from the Cumbria Intensive Startup Programme.
