Building strong, safe and attractive communities, is not just about the built environment....
Simply put, a social enterprise is a business that aims to tackle issues within the society, both social and environmental. This worldwide movement of businesses exists to create change for the better, actively tackling social problems by improving community living standards, making a positive contribution to people’s lives, (as well creating a more sustainable environment).
Social enterprise can sometimes be mistaken for being a charity but it is important to remember that social enterprises are still businesses that carry out functions that generate revenue and make profits, like any other business. What distinguishes them from all other types of businesses is the way that they work and what they do with their profits i.e. making investments that make a bigger difference, reinvesting the profits they make to do more good!
