Thank you to our Social Enterprise NI sponsors 2022!


Ahead of our annual Social Enterprise Awards, taking place on Friday 14 October, in the Crowne Plaza, Belfast, we would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thanks to this year's sponsors who have played a huge part in ensuring that such a large scale event can take place for our sector.


We are delighted to have so many returning organisations come back year on year to sponsor the event - this support is extremely important for helping to raise awareness about the social economy in N. Ireland. It's encouraging to see how the awareness of the sector is spreading across both the private and public sector, having introduced 3 new partner organisations to the list this year, one being our lead private sector sponsor Juggernaut Digital


The support and commitment of our sponsors to the sector is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing how their relationship with social enterprises continues to flourish.
