Social Enterprise NI Annual Gala Awards 2021 - Deadline Extension

Social Enterprise NI Annual Gala Awards 2021 will take place on Friday 15th October 2021. The Date for applications has been extended until Friday 30th July. To apply download your application pack via our website. 

Who would have thought in October 2019 when we announced our Social Enterprise winners of the year in the Crowne Plaza to a room full of over 480 people that in a few short months, the world was to change so dramatically that it wasn’t possible to have our Annual Awards in 2020.  Instead, we joined forces with the other regional bodies in England, Scotland and Wales and held a “Roll of Honour” for Social Enterprise celebrating their resilience during 2020 as part of the Social Enterprise Future Conference held virtually.  We were delighted to see many Northern Ireland Social Enterprises on that list.

As we now see some restrictions lifted and large-scale vaccinations taking place across the country, we are delighted to today launch the “Social Enterprise NI Awards 2021” which will be held on Friday 15th October. Make sure and save that date!
