Week three was my first social enterprise
lecture that I was able to attend due to changing modules. I was placed in my
team, who are all lovely with a variety of backgrounds and skills.
Within this weeks session we had to think
deeply about beneficiaries, and how we will access this group. The main
beneficiary identified were students at the university, as our project aims to
enhance their ability to budget and spend their money effectively. However as
we wanted to be self sustainable, this may be done by training third year
students to provide this service, then not only would money be saved (by not
employing externally from university), but these individuals would gain
experience. Currently our project will only be aimed at the University of
Southampton due to our existing knowledge about certain demographic factors
compared to other areas where we lack knowledge.
To help reflect of research knowledge the
group decided that we would all each individually take note of our spending for
the next week, to see the variety of finance within our team (patterns), whilst
helping to aid ideas as to where money if often spent, for example, rent.
At the end of week threes session we
thought about research methods. In which an online survey seemed popular.
