Omagh and Fermanagh & Omagh District Council area organisations with a social purpose may be interested in an upcoming free conference focused on long-term sustainability and growth. Social Enterprise NI will host its Annual Conference 2026, bringing together leading thinkers and innovators from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to share practical ways to build stronger organisations and reduce reliance on grant funding.

The event will feature inspiring keynote speakers, local case studies highlighting real-world success, and interactive breakout masterclasses designed to provide hands-on tools, ideas and solutions that can be applied directly to your organisation.
