Plymouth Social Enterprise Network

Here’s an important survey we really need you to complete please: https://lnkd.in/ertYjZ_B. We’re gathering evidence about the impact of social enterprise networks and what your needs are for the next few years. This will inform strategy and policy work and help us seek extra investment, so we can deliver more effectively next year. We’re looking to collaborate with Devon and Torbay Social Enterprise Networks on bids and have been asked by funders to gather more data. It will only take a few minutes and can be done confidentially if you like. Please complete it by clicking here: https://lnkd.in/ertYjZ_B.
