Be part of Social Enterprise Drive 2022

2nd February 2022

iSE has just announced that Social Enterprise Drive is back for 2022. This year the week-long festival of social enterprise will take place slightly later — in early-June rather than April as has been the case previously.

What began life as a local Digbeth-based initiative nine years ago has grown into a wider celebration stretching across the city and well beyond. But its aim remains the same: to celebrate the social enterprise sector, raise awareness and understanding of what it does and showcase the positive change it creates by trading for social good.

iSE’s Elizabeth Forrester says, “From climate change to food poverty, we want to raise awareness and celebrate the businesses tackling the long-term social and environmental challenges in communities and neighbourhoods head on.”

Social Enterprise Drive 2022 is focused on celebrating innovation and resilience in the West Midlands.

iSE is calling for social enterprises to get involved and be part of the celebration — by hosting events, doing good business, reaching new audiences, building connections and helping to get social enterprises noticed.
