Community businesses in Merseyside set to soar
Report with thanks to NWDA.
MERSEYSIDE launched
this week a new Social Enterprise Initiative (MSEI) at the Social Enterprise Network (SEN) Conference held at Liverpool Hope University.
The Merseyside Social Enterprise Initiative (MSEI) has been designed to assist the social enterprise sector in Merseyside - businesses that trade in the market place but aim to provide lasting benefits to the local community. This sector is recognised by the government as a key growth area, and this new initiative will help both new and existing social enterprises to grow and develop in order to achieve long term financial sustainability.
Merseyside has a long history of successful community businesses and this new scheme will continue this tradition. The SEN Conference provides an ideal opportunity to share best practice amongst partners in the social enterprise sector.
Guest speakers at the event included Dr Maureen Williams, NWDA Board member and Chief Executive and founder of the Merseyside Development Foundation, and Maggie O’Carroll, Chair of the Social Enterprise Network.
Mike Shields, NWDA Chief Executive said:-
“I warmly welcome the development of the Action Plan for the Merseyside Social Enterprise Initiative. The NWDA recognises the important role that social enterprise can play in our economy, and this is acknowledged in the new Regional Economic Strategy. I am delighted that key public sector players in Merseyside have come together with the NWDA to improve support for social enterprises.”
