The East Midlands School for Social Entrepreneurs is based at the Mansfield I centre, Mansfield Nottinghamshire and delivers its essentials entrepreneurial development programme in locations across the East Midlands. Its learning programmes support individuals and community groups, primarily targeting the former coalfield area in North Nottinghamshire and North Derbyshire. We also welcome applications from Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and individuals from excluded rural communities.

The East Midlands School is an independent Charity and part of a network of Schools running learning programmes across the UK and Ireland that support and encourage people to act innovatively for social benefit.

The East Midlands School for Social Entrepreneurs is NOT a conventional school.

The aim of the school’s programme is to increase your entrepreneurial ability- your personnel effectiveness, confidence and ability to maximise opportunities and to manage risk.

The school provides a supportive environment within which individuals and their projects can be developed.

The school is practical rather than academic.

Students learn by doing, and are provided with access to information, contacts, networks and other key resources.

The school is a learning community of like minded people who provide each other with lasting support.

We look forward to hearing from you.
