Proper Good Business Club
Unlocking Social Value:
A Smarter Way of Doing Business
Stockport’s Proper Good Business Club is an opportunity for businesses and Social Enterprises to come together to identify practical solutions to address some of our society’s most pressing issues, on a local level.
It’s the opportunity to make a difference SEE the difference and BE the difference, on the ground, in your workplace, in your home and in your community.
A Proper Good Business Conference
In 2023 we held Stockport’s first ever conference dedicated to Social Value. Over 70 organisations - businesses and Social Enterprises - came together to discuss ways of working together. Businesses discovered what Social Value could offer them and the variety of services available to purchase from local Social Entrepreneurs.
We are currently planning 2024’s conference - watch this space for updates!
