Aspiring entrepreneurs are being invited to join a new enterprise programme.

The free six-week School of Social Enterprise programme will run at Phoenix House on Jacktrees Road, Cleator Moor, from September 16 to October 21.

It aims to equip individuals with the skills and confidence to launch businesses that deliver social or environmental value.

The programme includes training in marketing, financial planning, customer engagement and business modelling, alongside personalised mentoring and daily lunch vouchers.
