ASSETS: Assisting Social Enterprises to Succeed
.
ASSETS is a seven-month business support programme for social enterprises in the construction industry
We are working with Impact Hub London on a business mentoring programme to support social or environmental impact-driven suppliers to improve readiness to scale up and successfully compete UK-wide.
This programme aligns with ‘the long term strategic commitment outlined in our social value strategy, ‘Creating Opportunities’, to ‘support five social enterprises to achieve national scale by 2025’.
