Workshops will cover areas of interest to existing, established, and new (and even pre-start) social enterprises, so there’s useful information at Footsey whether you are brand new to the sector or well established within it. And this year’s 1-1 sessions with a range of experts mean delegates can gain advice and insights from mentors with a huge range of skills and experience.

The workshops at Footsey 2009 will cover:

  • How to bid for local authority tenders - the procurers' perspective
  • Impact assessment and social auditing
  • Toolkit for starting up a social enterprise
  • Sales and marketing bootcamp
  • How Social Enterprises can engage with schools
  • Opportunities in health and social care - development, investment, procurement
  • Board development and good governance
  • And of course, Footsey’s special Dragons Den - see http://tr.im/ftsydd

Delegates will be sent details of how to book 1-1 mentoring sessions with their Footsey joining instructions in October.
