These sessions are being organised by Social Enterprise London and are open to all social enterprises, not just SEL members.

Session 2
The Novas Contemporary Urban Centre, 73-81 Southwark Bridge Road, London, SE1 0NQ
Part 2 develops on the themes from the first session, helping you think about the process of bidding in relation to your business.
Topics include:
• focussing on your budgets, showing you how to present them coherently in tenders and bid documents.
