Social Venture School is for individuals and groups who have an idea for social change. Attending the Social Venture School is free and provides access to expert support to help you plan your enterprise journey. The school will help you to build a plan for your venture, meet inspirational speakers from other local enterprises, and join a network of like-minded people.
Offering the school through Business For Good West Yorkshire, the Social Venture School is fully funded, which is why we offer free places.

What's the commitment?
The Social Venture School runs over two days from 9:30am-3pm and also offers follow-up meetings with one of our specialist Enterprise Coaches if you want more support. We understand that two days is a big commitment, so we make sure the time is packed with information, opportunities to network, and lots of interactive and small group work. As well as providing lunch for free!
