Go Succeed Grow | Peer Support Network

We’re excited to announce that Boom Studios are developing a peer support network for social enterprises, as part of the Go Succeed Grow programme.

The aim of these sessions is to connect businesses with shared values in the borough, sharing best practice, creating networks and encouraging collaboration .

Is it for me?

These sessions could benefit those interested in becoming a social enterprise, established social enterprises, and stakeholders involved with social entrepreneurship, development, and community support.
