Project co-ordinator Dave Callender has been accepted onto the Environmental Program on a full bursary for 12 months run by the School for Social Entrepreneurs www.sse.org.uk.
Liverpool SSE is based at Blackburne House, a leading social enterprise and learning provider. Blackburne House seeks to transform people's lives, in particular the lives of women and socially excluded groups and encourage their independence through the provision of training and opportunities of every kind.
Dave is working the vision, the business plan, the procedural administration, the legal structure and the likely revenue streams that the Beacon Centre will be adopting from within Blackburne House and its mentoring environment. The course opens doors to a wealth of not for profit businesses, social entrepreneurs, community projects, visionary community activists and action learning sets that drives the learning and mentoring process forward. It has provided the research going into the intended project with a secure base and platform from which to develop the ideas.
Over 20 individuals each with their own social project themed to the environment are part of the course. The bonding and the journey that each of these people are taking creates the fabric that is the learning process.
