Social enterprises, like other businesses, compete in the market place and generate profits to sustain their business. They generate the majority of their income through trade rather than grants or donations. However, they use their business skills to tackle a wide range of social and environmental issues either through their products and services or by providing employment and training opportunities.
A social enterprise will have a clear sense of its “primary purpose” what difference it is trying to make, who it aims to help, and how it plans to do it.
Social enterprises should:
- Have a clear social and/or environmental mission set out in their governing documents
- Generate the majority of their income through trade
- Reinvest the majority of their profits back into their social objectives
- Be independent
- Be majority controlled in the interests of the social mission
- Be accountable and transparent
The County Council is firmly committed to the need for a strong, vibrant local economy and recognises the contribution Social Enterprises make within the community. We are keen to support Social Enterprises and offer seed corn funding to assist new and emerging Social Enterprises who are contributing to the Council’s priorities.
