Social Enterprise explained

"A Social Enterprise is a business 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."(Social Enterprise: a strategy for success, DTI July 2002).

The Social Enterprise Directory

Dingle Opportunities in conjunction with The Innovations Factory and Mercom have developed an online directory of Social Enterprises in the Merseyside area, we hope to eventually expand this site to cover the whole of the North West.

The Directory can be searched by Social Enterprise type or Alphabetically.
