Project: Building bridges and pathways

Grant: £30,000

This Peer Network project will enable Plymouth Social Enterprise Network to proactively remove barriers to participation and reach out to those who are currently underrepresented within the network, helping them access support, advice and the investment they need to thrive. The project will develop the Social Investment Peer Support Group according to sector, growth stage and need; one to one consultation meetings and networking events and seminars around social investment and diversity by design focus groups. The project will also produce a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy, a comprehensive dataset to inform current membership demographics and a consultation report on perceived and real barriers to engagement through the development of the work.
