Getting ready for investment events coming up
Monday 16 May 2016 - 14:23
A series of eight free 'Getting Ready for Investment' events are taking place across the Highlands and Islands in June.
Social Investment Scotland, Local Energy Scotland and Community Shares Scotland are working together on the events.
The aim of the events is to equip social enterprises and community organisations in the Highlands and Islands with the capacity, knowledge and confidence to invest in their future and build stronger, more resilient communities.
Participants will hear from the three partner organisations on the support and services they can provide, from a guest speaker who has 'walked the investment walk' and take part in a round table discussion exploring the practicalities of accessing investment.
Following lunch, a series of workshops will provide more detailed information.
The event dates and locations are:
- 2 June - Moray
- 9 June - Orkney
- 10 June - Shetland
- 17 June - Lewis & the Outer Hebrides
- 21 June - Argyll & the Islands
- 22 June - Lochaber, Skye & Wester Ross
- 24 June - Caithness and Sutherland
- 28 June - Inverness
All events take place between 10am and 4pm.
Find out more about the events and book your place.
The events are supported by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE). HIE are able to provide assistance to those travelling to the events from further afield.
