The Social Enterprise Coalition is delighted to host BAME Women Making a Difference through Business, a free all-day event on 21 October in London, designed to inspire, empower and inform the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) women about the business of social enterprise.

A research project carried out by Social Enterprise London has found that BAME women play a significant role in their local communities but there was significant under representation of BAME women within networks and start-up social enterprises.

Barriers highlighted by the project included:

• a low awareness of social enterprise among BAME women,
• family obligations and limits on time,
• lack of knowledge of finance and business development,
• low confidence,
• cultural stereotyping inside and outside of their communities

This event, focusing on BAME women will examine these specific issues, showcase the people behind successful social enterprises, and provide opportunities for discussion and networking.
