His talk will cover: - Social enterprise models and approaches - Relevance to community resilience and local economic development - Developmental challenges and enablers - New Zealand data points and sector developments - Potential opportunities and strategies for local government and other partners For Further info or questions please contact [email protected]

From next Monday, 1st May we will be located at 16 Nile Street (right beside INP – Independent Nursing Practice) which will complement our service perfectly. Leaving the Women’s Centre was not an easy decision to make, however the synergy we will have with INP will be amazing, as well as the additional opportunities this move will provide. It also means that we will have a little more office space which will be greatly appreciated, as with the growth we have been experiencing in client numbers we have definitely outgrown our current office.
