Support for social enterprises and co-operatives

The Wales Co-operative Centre supports the development and growth of social entrepreneurship, social enterprises and co-operatives in the Convergence area of Wales.

Our team of specialist advisors work with groups who wish to set up a new social enterprise or co-operative.  We also work with existing social enterprises and co-operatives who wish to grow and develop.

Each group works with a specialist advisor, who devises an action plan for them.  This plan is then delivered by a range of consultants with expertise in areas such as business planning, legal structures, personnel, finance and marketing.

Support is also delivered through training, mentoring, masterclasses and networking.

Further information can be found on Business Support Wales.

We also run the Wales Co-operative Centre Consultancy which specialises in helping organisations which are not eligible for free support to start up, grow and succeed. This means we can assist and support social enterprises, co-operatives and other organisations throughout Wales.
