What is Social Enterprise? Expert Peter Holbrook explains

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Social Enterprise is a model where organisations make money to plough back in to an enterprise which has a social or environmental benefit. It is of particular value for non-governmental-organisations which are looking for ways of becoming independent from government funding. In New Zealand it is still a relatively new concept. It is far more developed in Britain where Peter Holbrook is the CEO of Social Enterprise UK. This presentation was delivered to a Christchurch audience at the Office of Ethnic Affairs' EthnicA conference in May 2012.

“We need to recognise the full potential that social enterprise has.  It’s not just about helping to tackle social problems at the community level; it’s 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.”
