We launched Tameside Social Economy Network in October 2024. 

This is what some of the social businesses had to say about the Network:

“Met some contacts for potential partnership working. Great space to discuss the challenges and what would support us all to meet them. Good to see that challenges are shared (we are not alone...)”

“Thanks for organising, feels like a really collaborative space already!”

“Useful reminder of the free business resources and services available and that I need to tap into these more”

“Appreciated the opportunity to network with other social enterprises”.
