Social enterprises create employment and support many Government policy objectives
Put simply, a social enterprise is a business that exists for the greater social good. The main objective of any social enterprise is to have a positive social, societal, or environmental impact.
Social enterprises often aim to support disadvantaged groups, like those with special needs or those who live in isolated rural areas. They may also work to address issues like mental health, unemployment, regional disadvantage, and gaps in services for women, children, or families.
Like any other business, social enterprises can create a profit. The difference with a social enterprise is that they re-invest their profits back into the business. The profits can then be used to e.g. to promote growth, extend their services and increase employment. They can be community-based or nationwide.
Social enterprises create employment and support many Government policy objectives in areas such as employment, physical and mental health, and the environment.
