FUSE Network exists to help social enterprises start, strengthen, and grow and to connect them with peers and opportunities across Norfolk and beyond. In 2026, our support sits across three key areas:
Get Started: Starting your social enterprise
Whether you have an idea or are ready to take the first steps, we can help you explore, plan, and register your social enterprise.
Funded support (Norfolk-based)
- 1:1 start-up support sessions
- Guidance on choosing the right legal structure
- Practical next steps towards registration
Paid support (open to anyone)
- Online or in person (Norwich only) 1:1 session
- Access to our online platform with resources and community forum
- Practical guidance on structure, registration, and next steps
We prioritise funded support for Norfolk-based organisations. Paid options help us keep support accessible and sustainable, so we welcome paying clients from in and outside of Norfolk.
You can also join the waiting list for our next Social Enterprise Start Up Programme.
