Supporting VCSE businesses has always been a key part of Outset’s 15-year legacy of providing tailored, specialist business support in Cornwall recognizing the impact of community sector organisations on the Cornish economy and partnering with other projects and organisations such as Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change, Real Ideas Organisation and Cornwall School for Social Entrepreneurs to help support them.

Now, through a blend of regular specific topic-focused sessions (delivered by sector/subject specialists), 1:1 support (provided by a dedicated Outset advisor), and peer-to-peer training workshops and networking events, Outset VCSE will continue to help these new, early-stage and existing enterprises and organisations by providing the right specialized support to help them move forward sustainably.
