Supporting Women in Social Enterprise

11: Episode 11. All About Crowdfunding

This special edition podcast forms part of a re-commissioning process and consultation, which Flourish has carried out in partnership with 10GM (http://www.10gm.org.uk/) for the Greater Manchester Combined Authority. (https://www.greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk/) Hear how women with lived experience share views and insights on how to improve services to better meet their needs and help budget holders to Commission with Compassion & Conviction. Throughout late summer and autumn 2020, we carried out a series of interviews with diverse women with lived experience, women led support organisations and commissioners directly, to help understand the needs of women. The aim was to draw out wider perspectives, shine a light on 'Hidden voices and views' and amplify their experiences and ideas to improve how Women's Centres and support can wider meet the needs of women who come into contact with the Criminal Justice System as victims or perpetrators. In this podcast you'll hear from Martin Nugent at the GMCA giving the perspective of a commissioner, Liz Windsor Welsh from 10GM and Action Together (https://www.actiontogether.org.uk/) reflecting on the research we carried out and most importantly a diverse range of women from across the Flourish network and beyond sharing their views, experiences and 'Big Asks' to Commissioners. At Flourish we believe we all have our part to play in ensuring women, families and communities are invested in and well supported in order to flourish, so we hope the lessons learned through this consultation, report and podcast gives food for thought and recommendations we can all act upon.

10: Episode 10: Commission with Compassion & Conviction

On our 9th podcast we cover the topic that’s essential for the survival of your social enterprise – Money! Whether your organisation relies on funding, investments, income from goods and services or other forms of finance, a regular income stream is key to your growth.  The last few months have been challenging for all organisations, and especially those who rely on income from goods and services. Many social enterprises have been moving away from grant dependency towards financial resilience with diverse income streams only to find themselves once again relying on funding to survive. On our 4th podcast since COVID, “Show me the Money!” we take an in-depth look at one social enterprise who has not only survived but thrived since it began, evolving it’s income stream along the way. Dr Iyabo Fatimilehin, founder and director at Just Psychology (https://www.justpsychology.co.uk/) CIC shares the highs and lows of seeking funding and investment and her social enterprise journey to date. We hear how a Reach Fund (https://twitter.com/thesocialinvest) initially kick started her business growth providing the funds to put together a business plan, financial and social impact forecast and get investment ready. Investment can be a scary prospect for organisations that have always relied on grant funding, though it need not be. Iyabo shares her thoughts and experience on how good planning, research and a clear focus can help you secure investment to not only grow your business but provide sustainability. Although it’s common for social entrepreneurs to wear many hats in their business, we hear from Iyabo on why it’s sometimes best to bring in an expert especially when it comes to funding and bid writing! The last few months have demonstrated just how adaptable social enterprises are with many evolving their services to still provide vital support to their clients. Just Psychology (https://www.justpsychology.co.uk/) is no exception, with Iyabo taking the decision to move all their services from face to face to online. Although this presents a particular challenge especially within the social care and wellbeing sector where personal interaction is at the core of the organisation, this has provided a useful reflection period with opportunities to streamline the organisation in the future and be more flexible in their approach to providing support to clients.  Next we hear from our fantastic Funding Panel to get some valuable insights on how infrastructure agencies are responding to the pandemic. Bid writing can be somewhat of a dark art, particularly for new ventures so on this episode we take a look behind the scenes at the in’s and out’s of funding from 3 agencies, with Alex Phillips from UnLtd, (https://www.unltd.org.uk/) Lucy Findlay MBE from Social Enterprise Mark (https://www.socialenterprisemark.org.uk/) and Alison Crush from Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisations. (https://www.gmcvo.org.uk/)  Alex shares her perspectives as an Award Manager for Unltd (https://www.unltd.org.uk/) on why it’s so important for social entrepreneurs to be supported in challenging times such as COVID especially in the early stages of their social enterprise journey. Managing cash flow is the biggest issues for most early stage ventures, and trying to meet immediate costs in a pandemic has been nothing short of challenging. Organisations such as Unltd (https://www.unltd.org.uk/) have been a vital buffer providing organisations with some stability over these last few months when their regular income streams have dried up. She shares some great examples of social entrepreneurs around the country that have been able to respond to community needs with very little resource and how this need to be celebrated, not just within the social enterprise sector but beyond.     We hear from Lucy (https://twitter.com/LucyFindlay) from Social Enterprise Mark (https://www.socialenterprisemark.org.uk/) who has been at the forefront of ensuring government and other national agencies recognise that Social Enterprises need a tailored support package and helping to secure an incredible 85 million for the sector! Lucy shares how the last few months have been focused on raising awareness on the lessons that can be learnt from successful social enterprises, many of whom have been first responders during the pandemic. From helping to regenerate high streets and deprived areas to solving some of the deep rooted issues of unemployment, social enterprises. Focusing on the larger picture, Lucy shares how the next few months will focus on further developing links with the government, national agencies and UK Finance to ensure the social enterprise sector has a more tailored approach when it comes to mainstream finance and lending.   Our final funder, Alison from GMCVO shares her insights on supporting more established ventures and the ways in which funders are adapting to provide a lifeline to organisations struggling due to the pandemic. From loan repayment holidays to help organisations keep up with payments, to assisting social enterprises to become more resilient and helping them to recover during these challenging times.    Finally we hear from a fab range of women changemakers who share their top tips on funding and securing investment to give hope, reality and inspiration!   First up we have Clare Courtney from Heart and Parcel (https://twitter.com/heartandparcel) an inspiring social enterprise that provides opportunities for migrant women to come together, improve their English and social skills all whilst making great food! Clare shares how demonstrating flexibility to funders resulted in securing funding from We Love Mcr (https://twitter.com/WeLoveMCRfund) to move their full program online, not only providing much needed support to their existing client base but growing their customer base by being more accessible to new learners online!    We next hear from Karen Howard at Brain Health Breakthrough (https://twitter.com/brainhealthCIC) who provide training for those affected by brain injury on the importance of being proactive and how social enterprises in particular are well suited to evolving quickly and adapting their services in response to challenging times. And finally we have Kimberly Bond from Visit from the Stork (https://twitter.com/VFTSeditor) and Yvonne Edouke @ Sawa BBQ (https://www.facebook.com/Sawabarbecue/) from Sawa BBQ and Dynamic Support, two women changemakers who have not let the challenges of COVID stop them from continuing to support their clients sharing their tips on the benefits from reaching out to your network.   We know the last few months have been a real challenge for organisations everywhere, but it’s great to share the successes of social enterprises and how effectively they have dealt with the changing environment to continue to support and be a real lifeline for communities. Resilience and adaptability are at the heart of the keys to success when it comes to financial sustainability so as well as this podcast, check out our amazing Flourishing Beyond Covid Toolkit and webinar series (https://www.flourishtogether.org.uk/flourishing-beyond-covid) to consider your own options for securing funding and resources.   Special Thanks all our contributors for this podcast:  Dr Iyabo Fatimilehin, from Just Psychology (https://www.justpsychology.co.uk/) CIC, Clare Courtney from Heart and Parcel (https://twitter.com/heartandparcel) , Karen Howard at Brain Health Breakthrough (https://twitter.com/brainhealthCIC) , Kimberly Bond from Visit from the Stork (https://twitter.com/VFTSeditor) and Yvonne Edouke @ Sawa BBQ (https://www.facebook.com/Sawabarbecue/) and Dynamic Support, Alex Phillips from UnLtd, (https://www.unltd.org.uk/) Lucy Findlay MBE (https://twitter.com/LucyFindlay) from Social Enterprise Mark (https://www.socialenterprisemark.org.uk/) and Alison Crush from Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisations.

10: Episode 9: Show Me The Money!

In our 8th Episode we take a look at Problem Solving in challenging times. We interview a range of inspiring women changemakers who are tackling social issues through their ventures providing holistic, practical solutions with a people first approach.  First up we have Rachele Evaroa from The Old Abbey Taphouse (http://www.theoldabbeytaphouse.co.uk/) , an independent community hub in a Pub based in Hulme. Nestled amongst the Manchester Science Park on the Greenheys Estate, @Old_Abbey_MSP (https://twitter.com/Old_Abbey_MSP) was founded with just £2k and has developed into a thriving, innovative and much loved community hub in Hulme, bringing residents, the community and organisations together to serve the needs of the local community in a holistic way. You’ll hear how The Old Abbey Taphouse’s innovative approach to problem solving has resulted in creative, grassroots solutions to the issues affecting communities as a result of COVID-19, from partnering up with @AcornManchester (https://twitter.com/AcornManchester) to provide meals to local residents struggling to make ends meet through their pay-as-you-feel meal scheme to setting up a community radio to provide a platform for local residents.  Rachele shares her journey and the range of challenges they have faced from threat of eviction to funding worries, and the importance of thinking creatively when it comes to problem solving. She shares her top tips on developing solutions to problems and highlights the importance of resilience, positive mindset and the vital part that a good support network plays especially as a social entrepreneur! Next we hear from TV Producer turned Property Developer @SallyLister (https://twitter.com/SallyLister) on her venture H.A.V.E Homes CIC, an innovative property development social enterprise passionate about ensuring community, sustainability and values are at the heart of the property process. Taking a holistic approach to the property development process, Sally has incorporated Health, Aspiration, Value and Education into her business, with a people first approach. Sally shares her journey on why she started H.A.V.E Homes due to the lack of quality housing especially in the rental market in North Manchester and her determination to create more sustainability in communities by only selling to owner-occupiers, not landlords – putting people before profit.  Not only is Sally passionate about creating homes that are innovative and sustainable, she shares her views on how she provided valuable career opportunities to apprentices through @TheMcrCollege (https://twitter.com/TheMcrCollege) , utilising local talent and giving young people the experience they needed to kickstart their career.  Sally’s multi-faceted approach to problem solving has resulted in an inspiring, innovative business with real heart. She shares her insights on the importance of research when decision making and utilising different techniques to come up with the best solution. You’ll hear how COVID-19 has created a platform for more open minded conversations on the need for a more holistic approach towards housing and Sally’s hope that more property developers will mirror her H.A.V.E Homes model  She ends with her hope for a change in the profit-first approach to property development and how COVID-19 has created a platform for more open minded conversations on the need for a more holistic approach towards housing with a people first mentality.  We also look at how challenging personal experiences can equip you with the skills and mindset required to cope with challenges more effectively. And the barriers that can arise when trying to solve issues from investment challenges which have been aggravated due to COVID-19 creating more of a grant dependant culture to getting noticed in the media as a woman changemaker.  Finally, we end the episode with some insights from a range of women changemakers sharing their thoughts on problem solving, from tips on how to approach an issue to practical steps you can take when you’re facing a challenge.  We hear from Fi @FiBeginnings (https://twitter.com/FiBeginnings) who’s had a whirlwind few months since setting up her new venture New Beginnings Manchester (https://www.facebook.com/groups/585297935405602/?ref=share)   which provides health and wellbeing support through events, meditation and other holistic methods. Having set up just before lockdown, Fi shares her journey on how she quickly adapted her services online developing innovative solutions to those looking for health and wellbeing support building up a membership of 500 in just a few weeks!

From the importance of focusing on your vision to get you through tough times to dreaming big and thinking outside the box to develop creative solutions.  Problem solving is an evolving process, we hope this episode gives you some new insights, tips and tools you can incorporate into your own process when you’re next faced with a challenge!   Special Thanks all our contributors for this podcast: Rachele Evaroa @Old_Abbey_MSP (https://twitter.com/Old_Abbey_MSP) , Sally Lister @SallyLister (https://twitter.com/SallyLister) from H.A.V.E Homes CIC, Fi @FiBeginnings (https://twitter.com/FiBeginnings) from New Beginnings Manchester, Hannah Skinner @hannahjskinner1 (https://twitter.com/hannahjskinner1) from Milk and Honey Café @MilkHoneyMCR (https://twitter.com/milkhoneymcr) , Jane Greystone from City of Sanctuary @ManchesterCoS (https://twitter.com/ManchesterCoS)   For more info on our upcoming events, visit our eventbrite page (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/flourish-cic-12424608687) .  To find out more about the amazing work of The Old Abbey Taphouse and to sample their new vegan burger visit http://www.theoldabbeytaphouse.co.uk/ For more info on the range of support on offer from New Beginnings Manchester visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/585297935405602/?ref=share For more info on City of Sanctuary visit https://manchester.cityofsanctuary.org (https://manchester.cityofsanctuary.org/) Supporting Women in Social Enterprise is a MIC Media Production @MICmediaUK (https://twitter.com/MICmediaUK) and is produced and edited by Vic Elizabeth Turnbull @SilentVic (https://twitter.com/SilentVic)
