“We’ve been a social enterprise for 25 years but didn’t really know what that meant until we got involved with CSED. Through CSED we’ve had sector specific training and met a lot of like-minded local organizations facing similar challenges and opportunities. It’s made a big difference to how we operate.”

"It has been an absolute pleasure working with the CSED team. Water Rangers was looking for a way to extend our impact and become self-sustaining. With the help of coaches we learned how to write a business plan and understand planning a sustainable business. Mentors also gave us ideas on how we could grow! Thank you so much for helping us inspire people to protect our waterways!"
