The HOW TO FESTIVAL was a light bulb moment
A perfect opportunity, when we realised everything social entrepreneurs we’ve worked with have told us they wanted, at every stage of their social enterprise journeys, could be brought together in one place.
And, we could showcase many social entrepreneurs, innovators & supporters at the same time!
From HOW TO do budgets & business plans, to online marketing & branding, to self care & avoiding burn out – in the form of short, accessible videos & webinars from local, social entrepreneurs with lived experience of earning a sustainable income whilst delivering change.
As well as access to exclusive, new content throughout the year and our podcast & reading library, there will be a ‘Buy Social’ area (launching Summer ‘22) and the opportunity to join in the festival with your own HOW TO video.
We’re celebrating all the work we’ve done in the last 5 years, by opening the doors to our network of contacts in social enterprise, their experiences & knowhow, as well as inviting you to take to the stage to showcase your own venture, so anyone involved in the social enterprise sector can get support, connect with others & get noticed.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
The HOW TO FESTIVAL is arranged in ZONES & tickets will give you access to all areas until 31st Dec ‘22
