Birmingham's biggest and best celebration of social enterprise, showcasing business for good in our city. 

Social Enterprise Drive
19th-23rd April 2021

Social Enterprise Drive 2021 (previously CityDrive) is Birmingham’s very own festival of social enterprise. This year our week-long programme of events raises awareness of the organisations tackling the pressing social and environmental issues of today.

Our theme for #SED2021 brings social enterprise to the people of Birmingham and the broader West Midlands through supporting businesses and residents to get involved in their Social Enterprise City.

This year, all our events are virtual but no less collaborative, inspiring and engaging! From conferencing and networking to a virtual bike tour, stress busting lunchtime sessions and ‘maker’ evenings with amazing social entrepreneurs - Social Enterprise Drive has it all!

Below you'll find a taster of the week. Visit our website for more, use the Eventbrite page for bookings and download our interactive festival programme for the full low-down on the week's events.
