Shared Enterprise Clubs engage with people who are thinking however vaguely about starting a business. They are informal and flexible. They foster a peer-support and user-led approach.

We currently run a Club at Huntercombe Prison. We also deliver stand alone enterprise workshops, challenges and tournaments, using enterprise games which we have developed with Club participants.
