This event has passed Get tickets

Event description

We have been mapping WA's social enterprise sector since late 2019 with an objective of building the WA Social Enterprise Council (WASEC).  Now, with the growing short and long term repercussions of COVID19 in terms of impact on our communities, supply chains and jobs, bringing together WA's social enterprise sector is critical. 

What is the objective of this event?
We have just released the Preliminary Report for the WA social enterprise sector and this Zoom webinar on Weds 15th April will consider a number of objectives:

  1. Review the sector data as it was captured in today's Preliminary Report
  2. Consider the critical COVID-19 related challenges facing the communities the WA social enterprise sector serves, and how we might collectively respond
  3. Work together to surface the challenges and opportunities WA's social enterprises are facing and how we can support each other and the sector through the launch of WASEC
  4. Explore the growing role of employment based social enterprises which have the capacity to address some of the systemic failures such as supply chain and manufacturing disruption, which have been laid bare through COVID-19

Who is the audience for this event?

Western Australian based social enterprises; As well as capacity builders, funders and supporters of WA's social enterprise sector, with a particular focus on anyone who has participated in the social enterprise mapping project. 

What can I do now and what should I do ahead of the event?

We have released the Preliminary Report based on almost 200 responses received in the mapping project.  Through analysis of those responses we are also seeking further information so that as a sector we can be best positioned to survive and thrive with the support of appropriate collaboration, and support through these challenging times.  If you are a WA social enterprise you can:

  1. Review the Preliminary Report on the WA  social enterprise sector here
  2. Fill in the follow up survey here (both existing mapping respondents and new respondents) here
  3. Book for this event now. Bookings are essential with a strict capacity limit of 100 attendees 

Join us.  Together we can make this unprecedented challenge a catalyst for inclusive change through social enterprise and resilient, regenerative systems and business.
