South West of England BAME-led Social Enterprise Survey

This survey is part of a research project funded by the Connect Fund and run by the Black South West Network. Our objective is to map the Black/Asian and Minority Ethnic-led social enterprise sector in the South West of England. The findings will be used to coordinate support for BAME-led social enterprises across the South West both in terms of investment readiness and training needs.

Please fill in the survey so your BAME-led organisation can be counted. We would like to hear from all BAME-led social enterprises that serve the local community, no matter how small or large they are. We aim to build a directory of all BAME-led social enterprises in the South West so please provide accurate contact details.

What it means to be BAME-led? It means that an organisation is owned by a BAME member, composed mainly of people from a BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) background and it is led by a Board or Management Committee which is wholly or mostly composed of BAME people.

If you experience any issues with the survey, please email mina@bswn.org.uk 

The survey should only take about 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!
