Do Business Differently: Community Renewal Fund

do business differently: what did DCT offer?

DCT entered an exciting partnership to deliver Community Regeneration through supporting Devon’s Social Economy to thrive.

Alongside the School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE), New Prosperity Devon and Stir to Action, DCT engaged with local communities to support the development of social enterprises, community businesses, community groups, sole traders and anyone with a great idea for their community.

Our programme provided a range of in person and online opportunities including training workshops, networking events, symposiums and 1:1 consultations – all for FREE!

“This is a great opportunity to support local businesses to bounce back after a difficult two years, enabling them to access the expertise and advice to make them successful.” Mark Brownbill, Project Manager

Devon Social Entrepreneurs Programme was led by the School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE) in partnership with Devon Communities Together, Stir to Action and New Prosperity Devon.  It was funded by the UK Government through the UK Community Renewal Fund, which was managed by Devon County Council within the Devon area.

 The Wednesday, 29th June (Focus on Writing winning applications for funding) workshop is also funded by our New Start Devon programme.
