About us
Social Enterprise UK is the new name for the Social Enterprise Coalition
Who we are
We are the national body for social enterprise. Social enterprises are businesses with a social or environmental mission. When they profit, society profits.
We are here for businesses that are changing the world.
What we do
Together with our members we are the voice for social enterprise. We do research, provide information and tools, share knowledge, build networks, raise awareness and campaign to create a business environment where social enterprises can thrive.
Why we do it
Business is an incredibly powerful force for social change. Social enterprises use business to tackle social problems, improve communities, improve people’s life chances, or protect the environment. They create shared wealth and give people a stake in the economy. The UK is widely regarded to be a world-leader in social enterprise.
We believe that social enterprise is our best chance of creating a fairer world and protecting the planet.
Who is involved
Everything we do is done with and through our members. They are social enterprises, as well as private businesses, charities and public sector organisations who support our vision – of a world where social enterprise is the usual way of doing business.
