Co-operatives UK and School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE) are looking for an individual/organisation to evaluate the Growth & Resilience West Yorkshire programme (G&R programme), which is part of the wider Business for Good West Yorkshire (BfGWY) programme.
BfGWY offers coaching, training and support to help people in West Yorkshire start or grow ‘alternative businesses,’ including social enterprises, co-operatives and community benefit societies.
The G&R programme commenced in May 2024 and is due to end in late October 2024. 20 participants will benefit from a combination of online expert learning, action learning sets, site visits and a final celebration/graduation event.
Delivered in partnership between Co‑operatives UK and the School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE), the G&R programme supports co‑ops and social enterprises to grow, reach new markets and network with like‑minded businesses in West Yorkshire. It also aims to develop resilience and leadership skills to help create and safeguard jobs.
An evaluator has already been appointed for the overall evaluation of the BfGWY programme. This additional funding of £3000 (incl VAT) is to specifically valuate the G&R programme.
