Social Economy West

  • The Social Economy West project is a West of England Mayoral Combined Authority Initiative, led by Business West. 3SG is delivering the project in the Bath and North East Somerset region. This project is an extension of the work we have previously  done  with the School of Social Entrepreneurs and Bath Social Impact Network. Through this project we want to enable third sector organisations, social enterprises and co-operatives to achieve both sustainability and greater resilience in this economic climate. 


    We hope to provide charities, third sector organisations, social enterprises, and co-operatives with the resources, expertise and guidance they need to:


    • Explore opportunities for growth

    • Effectively manage increasing demand on services

    • Build economic resilience and enhance environmental sustainability

    • Manage risk more effectively 

    • Diversify income streams


    To apply for this programme, please submit your application using the application form found here.


    Have any questions? Please contact Alfiya Khan at 3SG: alfiya@3sg.org.uk.


  • We aim to support organisations with these five key activities , including:


    • 1-2-1 coaching and support

    • Demand-led themed workshops

    • Expert mentoring from social entrepreneurs

    • Opportunity to join peer networks

    • A comprehensive Accelerator programme by School of Social Entrepreneurs
