A social enterprise is a business that generates income while creating positive social or environmental impact. Cumbria already has a thriving social enterprise community — and we’d love to see even more ideas from West Cumbria brought to life.
If you’ve got an idea that could make a difference in your community, this is your opportunity to develop it with expert support.
