THE national social enterprise event of the year - Voice08, learn how BAME social enterprises can use business to change the world for good

This year’s national social enterprise conference is being held in Liverpool on February 27. Voice08 will be both fun and interactive, with heated debate, thought-provoking speeches, competitions and brainstorming sessions and our usual list of top politicians and leading social entrepreneurs.

There is also going to be a youth social enterprise conference (on  February 26), a fair-trade fashion show and a range of performances and sideshows celebrating Liverpool’s Capital of Culture status.
One of this year’s eight workshops is entitled BAME social enterprise - The business of opportunity and empowerment:
Black, Asian, minority ethnic (BAME) social enterprises are successfully creating jobs, providing quality services, and transforming lives and communities across the UK.
At this workshop you will hear from three leading Social Enterprise Ambassadors about the business models they have developed to trade in a range of different markets.
This session will explore how their success can be replicated in other areas. It will also consider the opportunities and barriers which BAME social enterprises face and how to address them.
As well as being relevant to potential and existing BAME social enterprises, this workshop will also be useful to support bodies and the wider social enterprise movement.
