Organisers are now able to announce that there will also be presentations from representatives from; Engaging Education, a social enterprise of young people who have taken an idea they had at school to deliver inspiring and engaging workshops to fellow young people all the way through to a full time business, representatives from the Big Lottery Fund and from the School of Social Entrepreurs.
As well as speakers the morning session will include workshops hosted by The BEACH, Totally Locally Scarborough and Scarborough Jobmatch and an exhibition featuring over twenty businesses, voluntary sector groups and social enterprises. In the afternoon the exhibition will be opened to the public and a Totally Locally Scarborough marquee will give people an opportunity to see the great products and services local, independent businesses have to offer.
