Local Social Enterprises and Community Organisations Attend Nuneaton Event To Celebrate Social Economy Drive Week

Mayor, Cllor Bill Hancox was one guest among many people who attended an event to celebrate all things social economy, at Saints Nuneaton, for the region’s Social Economy Drive, this week.

Coventry & Warwickshire Co-operative Development Agency (CWCDA), a leading organisation in the Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector in Coventry & Warwickshire, were pleased to be able to host this event and showcase just some of the fabulous organisations and businesses working with a social cause within the local area.

The event bought together expert speakers and guests to inspire, inform, make connections and enjoy meeting representatives showcasing their products and services in the social economy marketplace.

Venue sponsors Saints Community Cafe and Venue Nuneaton, a social enterprise themselves, were the perfect hosts and provided a warm welcome.

Guests, speakers and exhibitors benefited from hearing about the latest social economy funding and support programme news, were inspired by speakers, and made valuable new contacts.

The Social Economy Drive is a week-long programme of varied events, bringing together key stakeholders, Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise organisations (VCSE), commissioners, public and private sector and entrepreneurs all that are passionate about ‘growing the regional social economy.’

This week long programme is only a small part of the ongoing support available to the Voluntary Community Social Enterprise community by Mandy Bygrave and the team at CWCDA and complimentary agencies such as Warwickshire Community And Voluntary Action (WCAVA).
