Supporting social enterprises and civil society groups has never been more important. Many face increased uncertainty and challenging market conditions. Prices are rising, the funding landscape is unpredictable and unreliable. All whilst demand for their services is, and continues to increase for the foreseeable future as many communities struggle.

Capacity building organisations play an important role in aiding leaders of social enterprises, community, and voluntary organisations to build their capacity and navigate these current challenges. 

There are numerous organisations supporting social leadership and social enterprise development. Historically the collective offerings have been siloed, often confusing to navigate, and inaccessible for marginalised leaders.

The capacity building sector needs to build its own resilience, broaden its reach, and coordinate its responses and programmes in service of building a more just, inclusive and sustainable society.
