All businesses need support and that's where the Engine Room comes in for social enterprises in Cornwall, United Kingdom. The organization, a partnership, offers programming and services for small and medium businesses. Partners include Cornwall College, the School for Social Entrepreneurs, Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change, and Real Ideas Organisation.
The Engine Room has some top-notch events taking place this this summer including a five-hour lunch and workshopping event and a tea and talk. This is a great place to learn but also network.
As starting a business can often feel like a very isolating experience, every city should have their own place to get involved when it comes to social entrepreneurship.
