FUSE Network – Social Enterprise Day 2026

Explore, connect, and celebrate local social enterprises at this free public showcase of purpose-led businesses based in Norwich and beyond!

The Social Enterprise Day Showcase 2026 is back, bigger and better, celebrating the incredible social enterprises creating positive impact across Norfolk.

Hosted by FUSE Network in partnership with Norwich Unity Hub, this is your chance to explore, connect, and support purpose-driven organisations all in one place.

You’ll have the chance to:

• Meet a wide range of social enterprises working across sectors including food, sustainability, mental health, youth support, creative industries, employment, and more
• Explore organisations based within Carrow House and get a behind-the-scenes look at their work
• Discover and shop from social enterprises exhibiting throughout both Old and New Carrow House
• Buy refreshments from local social enterprises along the way

Who is this event for?

This event is open to everyone, including:

• Voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations
• Public sector partners including local councils, health services, and commissioners
• Funders, supporters, and social investors
• Businesses looking to buy locally and support the local economy
• Local residents and visitors curious about ethical, community-led organisations

Why come along?

Whether you’re looking to collaborate, commission services, discover new organisations, shop local, buy some Christmas gifts supporting a good cause or simply learn more about social enterprise, this is a great opportunity to connect with people and organisations making a difference across Norfolk.

What to expect:

Drop in between 10am–4pm and stay as long as you’d like.

Start at reception in Carrow House to sign in and collect your event map.

Follow a self-guided route through both New and Old Carrow House, meeting organisations in their workspaces and visiting stalls across the building as part of a vibrant, full-site showcase. There will be plenty of volunteers on hand to help you navigate the building and give you a helping hand if needed!

Goody bags

Following their success in 2025, we’re bringing back our popular social enterprise goody bags! The first 30 people to book online will receive a goody bag filled with offers, samples, and treats from local organisations. We’ll also have a limited number available on the day for early arrivals while supplies last.
