Enterprise Support Programme Launch

This month we share the news of the Enterprise Support Programme Launch. Aimed to boost local entrepreneurship and foster community development, the North Birmingham Social Enterprise Cluster announced the initiative will take place from November 2024 through to March 2025.

Participants can look forward to a series of engaging workshops over the five-month duration, along with fantastic networking opportunities to collaborate with fellow businesses and community groups. This programme is open to entrepreneurs, micro and small social enterprises, and community groups operating in and around North Birmingham.

If you would like to find out more about this new programme, contact Iram Fardus on 0121 3821930 or email iram.fardus@wittonlodge.org.uk.

This initiative forms part of the ongoing efforts of Witton Lodge Community Association, actively participating in the North Birmingham Economic Recovery (NB:ER) Board. NB:ER was established to revitalise the local economy by addressing the challenges posed by unemployment and skills gap in the region particularly following from the Covid-19 pandemic.
