"Welcome to the social enterprise network - a new online space where professionals working in or with social enterprise can talk to one other, get advice and insight from peers and industry experts and grapple with the challenges that face the whole sector.
Whether you are a social entrepreneur, social enterprise leader, local authority, service commissioner, social investor or from private business, this is the place to talk about your work and experiences in the world of social enterprise and find out how to strengthen your business, get advice on professional development and build your career in the sector.
Via blog posts from leading lights and exciting new voices in the sector, insider advice, live webchats, interviews and expert analysis features (and more) we're going to be exploring who's doing what, with whom and why.
We'll be covering business challenges such as starting up, scaling up and spinning out as well as the emerging social investment market, the council contracts market and supplying to and working with the private sector.
