Excalibur Press are running a series of free enterprise workshops currently being delivered as part of the Go Succeed: Get Started In Business programme.
Over the six week programme, they are delivering a total of 30 free workshops across six council areas, designed to support people who are economically inactive and considering self employment as a pathway to income, confidence and independence.
The programme is suitable for people at a very early stage, including those who may not yet see themselves as entrepreneurs.
Sessions are practical, jargon free and supportive, and are led by experienced facilitator Tina Calder of Excalibur Press, who has extensive experience working with individuals facing barriers to employment.
Who the programme is suitable for:
• People with a business idea who do not know where to start
• Individuals taking time out of employment due to caring responsibilities, health, redundancy or life transitions
• Students, parents, carers and retirees seeking flexible income options
• People exploring self employment as an alternative or complement to traditional employment
• Individuals who want to build confidence, skills and direction, even if they are not ready to start a business immediately
Participants are welcome to attend individual sessions or multiple workshops depending on their needs and interests.

DeskSpace
Being self-employed and typically working from home, I’ve used DeskSpace on several occasions. As well as being a practical solution for when working from home hasn’t been possible, it’s also given me a great place to be based when I need to be focused on a particular project, need access to meeting rooms, or simply want a change of scenery.
The facilities are excellent and the team ensures that all my needs are met. I am already looking forward to the next opportunity to be at Zenco and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.
