Social & Community Enterprise

At Strategic Spur we've lots of experience helping social and community enterprises make their marketing more effective. A good example is being a registered support provider for the defra funded enterprise 4 inclusion programme.

There can be special challenges which we understand:

• Deciding and researching what market you are in
• Organising a group of volunteers into an effective business team
• Developing a shared vision and action plan
• Searching and using grant funding and support effectively
• Using cost effective marketing techniques
• Simple tracking of marketing to measure effectiveness

We've worked with a whole range of social and commuinty enterprises, from a willow growers group in rural Wales, a cooperative art gallery in rural Lincolnshire, a fledging wood fuel producers group, a community transport scheme and an arts workshop aimed at including isolated rural young people in inspirational, creative performances. Our experience includes helping charities and parish councils/parish plan activities.
