Helping people make
good things happen

“Having someone to talk me through things really helped. Having so many thoughts and ideas, its good having someone to help you articulate that. Community Enterprise have empowered us to make decisions.”

“Being able to send stuff over we’ve done, hearing another take on it – that’s absolutely worth its weight in gold. There’s so much expertise in Community Enterprise that we have been the beneficiary of."

“Community Enterprise helped us unpick a tangle of complex factors, helped us understand clearly what our goals were and how we could go about achieving them."

“As a new organisation, it’s great to feel you’re in safe and experienced hands. The staff always go above and beyond what is expected, and above all, there is a great feeling of trust towards Community Enterprise and their staff.”

"Our work with Community Enterprise has proved to be an invaluable learning tool for our organisation, setting a clear baseline of where things work and areas where we can improve."

"The team at Community Enterprise delivered the work for the Accelerate programme with great efficiency. If you're starting a social enterprise journey then definitely get in touch to see how they can help."

"The work Community Enterprise has done with our organisation is great. We certainly would not be where we are now without their professional business support. We'd highly recommend them. They're for the long haul, too, always at hand when your organisation grows to the next challenge."

"Working with Community Enterprise was so easy. We felt supported all the way through the process. Our Development Officer was always available on the end of the phone to go through anything we were struggling with. We would definitely recommend Community Enterprise to anyone going on the same journey as us." 

“Without Community Enterprise’s support, I don’t know if we’d be here. It’s really felt very knife edge at times, so I’d say the support both mental as well as practical has been really important. For other organisations facing crisis, I’d say push the Crisis Recovery button on the website – just ask for the help. The sooner you ask for help, the better.” 

"Community Enterprise's approach was pragmatic, grounded in a genuine desire to listen and to do the best for our community and they intuitively picked up on the areas where our group needed the most guidance.

The feasibility study went way beyond simply presenting facts and figures and they demonstrated a genuine interest in understanding our community and building relationships. The impact and influence of their input into the project is much broader than we would have expected."

“Afristyle’s journey with Accelerate has been an incredible learning experience. The guidance received through Accelerate has been invaluable. Thanks for all you do.”

"It was reassuring to know that there was somebody that had my back, who understood where we were, who was committed to doing whatever they could to help. Even just having someone to talk through things, almost like a therapy session, was so helpful for me.”
