VCSE Spotlights
Here you can find case studies of organisations who have participated in, and been helped by, the Enterprise Development Programme. We’re keen to spotlight those organisations, in terms of their trading and enterprise models, the journey of developing this income, and the consequent impact on their mission. We are aiming for these to be a useful resource for organisations who haven’t had access to the Enterprise Development Programme, to help them on their own enterprise journeys.
But if there’s additional information you’d like to find out, do get in touch – we may be able to answer that within the Association or connect you with the spotlighted organisation.
