- Social Economy Bridging Programme

The Social Economy Bridging Programme was a joint cross border initiative between Banbridge District Council and Louth County Council. The Bridging Programme supported and developed organisations from Banbridge and Louth that were involved in the ‘social economy’ – in other words, working to improve the social aspect of their communities by developing business opportunities and then re-investing any surplus finances that have been generated back into the business or local community.

 

 

 

 


The programme consisted of a mixture of training workshops, networking opportunities, best practice visits and mentoring support. There were ten places (five from each Council area) on the training element of the programme with another 24 places for groups from Belfast, Banbridge and Louth to take part in the networking/best practice visits.

 

The training was tailored as much as possible to the specific needs of the participating groups with specialised mentoring support available to those groups involved in the training element.
