Renfrewshire Social Economy Network is a network of local social enterprises and social entrepreneurs set up for mutual support and inter-trading
It has a wide range of activities including organizing trade fairs, training, networking and an e-bulletin. We aim to ensure that others know about local social enterprises, to represent the network's views and develop greater partnership working.
