Working together to help people

Working together to help people

Do you have an idea that could help older people or those in need of support to access the community?
Do you need help to turn your idea into an enterprise or small community venture?
Are you already helping people and would like to do more?

Community Enterprise Project

This project is a new and exciting initiative, delivered in partnership with social enterprise Community. The 2 year programme offers support to local people to set up and run their own very small enterprise offering help and support at home for older people and support for disabled people who want to live life their way or similar. This may include community groups.

Community Enterprise

All community enterprises aim to make a difference to the lives of local people. They:

  • have 8 or fewer full-time staff or volunteers
  • are independent of any larger organisation
  • are set up in many different and creative ways such as sole trader, partnership, small business, social enterprise, charity or voluntary organisation.
