Team Selnet’s visit to Let’s Grow Preston
On 28th November, seven members of Team Selnet attended Let’s Grow Preston’s Grange Community Gardens – making apple juice from the community garden’s orchard, then creating woodfired pizzas for lunch.
We all had such a brilliant time
“We all work on separate projects, and it was great to step away from our desks for a couple of hours to spend some team time together!”
“We all had such a brilliant time – all in a production line to press apples from the Grange’s own orchard into juice that we could take home! Our woodfired pizzas were all fantastic.”

As an ‘infrastructure organisation’, Selnet are here to secure new opportunities, bring together partnerships, manage contracts and provide business development services for our sector to start up, develop, connect and grow.
For Selnet, 2023 has brought huge changes from closing long term projects (DR!VE, and Building Better Opportunities projects of Age of Opportunity, Invest in Youth and Changing Futures), to opening brand new projects (5 new UKSPF projects including Flying Start), to keeping services running (Under One Roof and network membership provision).
We’re on track for major new milestones, and all to bring you with us…

Starting Our 20 Weeks for 20 Years Journey
When Selnet began nearly two decades ago, we were a small team with a big belief that social enterprises across Lancashire deserved a strong voice, a supportive network and a place to belong. None of us could have imagined how much the sector would grow or how many lives would be changed along the way.
We are now beginning our 20 Weeks for 20 Years campaign and have been thinking a lot about the people who shaped our journey and what this next chapter means for all of us.
