North Lanarkshire Social Enterprise Gathering 28/05/2026

Are you a social enterprise? Do you trade goods or services and reinvest income into a social or environmental purpose? Are you looking to grow your income and build long-term sustainability? Or are you new to social enterprise and keen to learn more?

If so, this session is for you.

Social enterprise is about more than fundraising. It’s about operating in the marketplace and using that income to deliver meaningful community impact, combining strong business practice with a clear social purpose.
This session brings together those involved in, or interested in, social enterprise across North Lanarkshire, whether already trading, developing an offer, or just starting out.

At this first meeting, participants will:

  • Explore what social enterprise means in the local context
  • Hear about a proposed membership model
  • Learn about priorities for the next 6–12 months
  • Review a draft Terms of Reference
  • Discuss how to move forward collectively

A range of supporting documents are available, including proposals on purpose and direction, membership options, a development plan, and a draft agenda. These are shared to give everyone the opportunity to shape the direction from the outset, input is genuinely valued.
