LDA: The London Development Agency (LDA) is helping leaders of social enterprises in the capital to build their organisations through a series of interactive workshops which are being held in conjunction with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) and Social Enterprise London (SEL).
Ensuring social enterprises are able to access the knowledge & expertise in commercial organisations in London is an important way of building the capacity of these organisations.

Future workshops are expected to address the following issues:
