We are excited to present you with a unique opportunity to participate in our Social Enterprise Research Project which is aimed at exploring the motivations and experiences of the social enterprise sector.

Our Social Enterprise Research Project aims to gain valuable insights into successes and barriers within social enterprises organisations. By exploring the experiences and perspectives of social enterprises like yours, we aspire to provide more targeted support, identify best practices and evidence-based strategies which would be useful for social enterprises across Hampshire.

As part of this research, we are inviting you to engage in a 1-hour focus group during the week of the 7 August about your motivations and experiences of the social enterprise sector. The findings collected from these groups will be analysed and disseminated via the network’s newsletters and social media channels.

We would love for you to take part…

To express your interest or request for further information, please reach out to Efue at efue.mahmud@actionhampshire.org by Monday 31 July.

This research will be undertaken by Action Hampshire on behalf of the Hampshire CVS network. The Hampshire CVS network believes the number of groups registering as CIC’S is increasing but the reason is unknown. The Hampshire’s state of the CVSE sector research found that only 14 CICs in Hampshire engaged out of 256. Therefore, the Hampshire CVS Network would like to undertake a piece of research to increase their understanding of the experiences of social enterprises in Hampshire in order to meet their needs and provide more targeted support!
