We need to recognise the full potential that social enterprise has. Its not just about helping to tackle social problems at the community level; its about mainstream businesses delivering public services with a distinctive focus on quality, serving the community, and employee pride. You showed us that social enterprises are not just creating social good, but creating jobs and opportunity.

A social enterprise is a business with primarily social objectives, whose surpluses are reinvested in the business or in the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders or owners.
