A meeting of the All-Party Group on Social Enterprise has been arranged to take place on Tuesday 21st January 2025 at 12.30pm-1.30pm in Senate Chamber, Parliament Buildings, Stormont.

All Members are most welcome to attend and support this growing and impactful sector. The Chair Stewart Dickson will present on his Private Members Bill to introduce a Social Value Act for NI. Something we have championed for some time and we are delighted to see Stewart taking this forward. We would love for you to join us.

Additionally, this meeting will also hear from the recent winner of the UK Social Enterprise of the Year, The Workspace Group, Draperstown. This is an amazing recognition of not only the work of The Workspace Group, but also the strength of the social economy in NI. We would love you to come along and hear their story.

Tea/ coffee will be provided before the meeting from 12.15pm in the rotunda outside the Senate Chamber.
