Enterprising Habits co-founders Ibrar and Anam at the organisation’s sixth anniversary celebration.
Our story

A commitment
to our community.

Co-founded by Anam and Ibrar, Enterprising Habits has run a community hub in Burnley since 2020. Chat & Chai adds another place for people to meet, share and explore what comes next.

We want people to feel heard, recognise their strengths and have practical support to pursue their goals.

Community voice

People should
help shape
their place.

In 2025, we consulted local residents about where investment should go: support and opportunities for people, improvements to places, or both.

These conversations help us understand what people want for their neighbourhoods, alongside their goals for learning, work and wellbeing.
