The study visit encompassed a 2 day programme. The first day involved meeting McSence, who operate a range of enterprises and social nterprises from the former coal mining communities of Mayfield and Easthouses, south of Edinburgh.

The second day of the visit involved travelling by bus to Perth, for Scotland’s second annual social enterprise Trade Fair. This event was organised by the Scottish Social Enterprise Coalition and Indigo Project Solutions, and attracted over 570 delegates. As well as over 60 organisations exhibiting at the event, the day also involved learning via a range of workshops and speed networking sessions.
