Ready to RISE: Let's Get Started! Social Enterprise Info Session

A free information session for Ready to RISE, a training programme for women and non-binary people who want to create positive change in their communities through social enterprise. It's delivered by Firstport and Challenges Group.

Hear from Laura Johnston-Scott, founder and executive director of the Highland Well-Ness Collective, an Inverness-based social enterprise providing affordable, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming mental health support across the Highlands.

Applications are open for the final Ready to RISE cohort. The programme offers practical support, peer connections and guidance to turn ideas into sustainable ventures. You don't need a business idea to take part, and it suits people returning to work after a break or looking for a new direction. Firstport recommends attending a session before applying. Free, booking required.
