Are you in the creative sector and think your business could be a social enterprise?
A creative social enterprise means making profits that are in turn reinvested in the creative sector, which in turn benefit people and/or the planet. This is often referred to as the ‘triple bottom line’ – profit, people and planet.
Come and meet experts from LARCH and ask them your questions for advice. This event is part of Hartlepool Borough Council’s Creative Week and will also feature a talk from award-winning visual arts company BloomInArt NorthEast CIC sharing their purpose and vision.
