Social enterprise conference

What is social enterprise? 

From the Big Issue to Jamie Oliver’s 15 Restaurant …. Have you thought about expanding your services? New ways to raise funds? How to sell your great idea AND benefit the local community?  

“Social enterprises” are businesses that trade for community purposes. In all shapes and sizes all social enterprises have a clear “social mission”.

Have you ever wondered about social enterprise or would like to know the next steps for your organisation?
