Featured project
Manchester Social Entrepreneurs
What began with five people at a first gathering in 2014 grew into a community of more than 1,400 members — and helped shape an approach built on collaboration, experimentation and positive change.
The community created space for practical business workshops, an enterprise incubator launch and collaboration across Manchester’s social economy.
