Bury Social Economy Network - September meeting

A FREE networking opportunity for trading charities, social enterprises & co-operatives who operate in Bury.

Are you:

• A co-operative society – maybe a worker co-op or consumer co-op?
• A community interest company?
• A credit union?
• A community benefit society or mutual?
• A privately owned business who has or would like to develop a social enterprise?
• An entrepreneur with a social purpose?
