York’s social enterprise community is full of energy – and our events bring that to life. From networking meetups and skills workshops to public talks and city-wide campaigns, every YSEC event is a chance to connect with others who believe in doing business for good. Whether you’re a social entrepreneur, a community leader, a local business, or simply curious about how enterprise can drive social change, you’re welcome to join us.
The York Festival of Social Enterprise brings together the city’s communities, businesses, and institutions with social enterprise at the heart, recognising the unique role social enterprises play in tackling deep-rooted challenges, creating inclusive opportunity, and building stronger, fairer local economies.
