Social Enterprise support - LEO Dublin City

What this service helps with

Social enterprises need access to mainstream training and mentoring plus clear signposting to funding and other specialist support organisations.

About this support

LEO Dublin City's Social Enterprise page sets out supports available to social enterprises operating in Dublin City. Social enterprises can join the office's regular training courses on topics such as start your own business, sales, tax, marketing and social media, and can apply for mentoring from the LEO Dublin panel, some of whom have direct experience mentoring social enterprises. The page notes that LEO grants require the enterprise to operate in the commercial sphere, so eligibility depends on the social enterprise's structure. It also lists other funding and support sources, including Rethink Ireland and the Dublin City Social Enterprise Awards, which typically open for applications in March and offer awardees between EUR 5,000 and EUR 15,000 plus publicity and mentoring. A table of other Dublin support organisations, such as Carmichael Ireland and local partnership companies, is also provided.
