They'll be talking about:- The biggest challenges facing rural social entrepreneurs and how to go about tackling them,- Opportunities for social enterprise in rural areas,- How rural social entrepreneurs can go about funding,- Common mistakes many rural social entrepreneurs make.
Don't miss this exciting event.
