Throughout October and November we will be running a series of accessible, subsidised masterclasses for two hours after work every Thursday so that you can continue to learn without taking time away from the social business you are so dedicated too.

From how to build an effective brand and market your product, to how you could revolutionize your business through applying the co-operative principles or lead with your social aims. Our masterclass series will finish with one of Principle 6’s legendary networking events, where contacts turn into business referrals in a matter of minutes.

We look forward to learning with you soon,
