Service Impact: Inspire Mentoring showcase – a social innovation launched and in action
What sets Innovate Communities apart is our commitment and ability to bring citizens, business, universities and nonprofits together, creating a space to facilitate people to reimagine, reframe and deliver a better way via positive social change projects, services and business for all involved. One of our most recent demonstrations of this is www.inspirementoring.ie.
The programme has taught us several things primarily how community involvement plays a key role in the development of any project. Engaging with right stakeholders at the right time and at the right place for the right decision is crucial for development. Involving community as a prime stakeholder can provide valuable insights and feedback, leading to better decision-making and improved project outcomes.
I took part in the Incubate for Growth programme at Innovate Communities starting in July 2019. It was a vital part of my growth journey, being a newly established business.
