OSEP was originally established as an informal network back in 2013, since when it has been supporting local social enterprise and social entrepreneurs in a range of ways including modest awards, support and events. In 2019 it incorporated as a Community Interest Company, and won a bid with OxLEP to provide support for social enterprises, enterprising charities, social entrepreneurs and purposeful businesses. Through this eScalate programme, a strong and vibrant community of like-minded people just like you, is growing who are also benefitting for fully funded support and grants as well as the power of this wonderful network.

So, why not join us for this free event, where you will be able to grab a drink and something to eat. As well as meeting others, you can also learn more about the work of OSEP, the eScalate programme and also share your concerns and support needs to inform the potential of future funded programmes.
