On 21 & 22 May 2019, Impact Link fellows and finalists came together in New Delhi to take part in a Social Enterprise Academy ‘Sharing Learning for Social Enterprise Success’ programme as part of their Impact Link package of support.
Sharing learning from similar social enterprises in Scotland, the programme aimed to support finalists increase their social impact and develop their long term financial sustainability.
SEA Facilitators shared success factors from Scottish social enterprises and explored sustainability indicators and scaling options for learners to apply to their own organisations.
