Social Enterprise

Fact sheets

The fact is that there are businesses all over the UK, trading, making profits, but doing so for a social purpose.
What is social enterprise? The government defines social enterprises as businesses with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders and owners.
