Social Investment Scotland – Buy Social Academy
Created: 09/10/2017Social Investment Scotland (SIS) is planning a number of product-based free workshops throughout the autumn in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Since running the last Asda Social Enterprise Supplier Development Academy, SIS has been conscious that there are many more social enterprises and charities out there that are not ready, or interested in supplying the likes of Asda or Tesco but still see retail as their main route to market. To help support these types of organisations SIS has developed a number of workshops looking at wider trends as well as specific development across food and drink, hospitality and tourism, creative industries and retail.
