Moving into new geographies is one way of finding it. Developing into a new area for a relatively small or young social enterprise can often appear unachievable or just too risky. In this podcast with Christy Acton from Standing Tall, Christy tells us how they approach moving into new geographies with their mission to provide good jobs and safe homes to get and keep people off the street - a place bursting with talent. Thank you to Christy Acton for sharing so openly his business model, purpose and approaches to growing theirimpact. These podcasts are brought to you by Rebecca White of Hasler-White Limited in partnership with the wonderful people at Future Projects in Norwich.
The aim is to cut through the nonsense by having no nonsense open acronym-free conversations about all the things I wish I’d had support with when running my social enterprise.
It’s now my turn to bring some hope, new ideas and inspiration by speaking to people within my network.

Focusing on the needs of the business and ensuring, as a social enterprise, that the business achieves on its own merits, are just some of Matt’s many achievements.
In this podcast Matt talks us through the businesses that sit under Grace Enterprises and his commitment to creating viable commercial entities - that at the same time change lives.
‘Biscuits that change lives’ is perhaps an easy sell, but Matt has taken the business from strength to strength (with a new bakery just opened) thanks to both surrounding himself with diverse voices and trusting them to get on with the job at hand.
But it’s not just about biscuits…
Thank you to Matt Parfitt for sharing his approaches, vision and ambition to have a positive impact on as many people facing employment barriers as possible.

It’s never too soon to think about sustainability. Restrictedincome is, well, very restricting and can make an organisation bend in ways that don’t play to its strengths So looking ahead as a young organisation, whilst scary, can be exciting, motivating and invigorating.
In this podcast Chantelle Tyrrell, CEO of Social Moments inNorfolk, looks ahead to diversifying income for reasons of sustainability as well as the exciting opportunities available. Whilst only two years old, Chantelle is already thinking of the organisation as one with diverse income, multiple hubs and even social investment.
Thank you to Chantelle Tyrrell for sharing her passion and plans on this podcast.
