Hey Devon! Have you heard about Social Enterprise?
Social Enterprise is a type of business, which aspires to change the world for the better. We should support the existing social enterprises in Devon and encourage new ones to form. Why? Because when social enterprise profits, so will Devon.
Social enterprise is taking on social or environmental issues, improving communities and changing people's lives for the better in Devon. They earn money by selling goods or providing services, and the profit they make is reinvested into the local Devon community!
So why have so few in Devon heard about this wonderful concept of a business? I believe it is because no one is talking about it! Together we should change this by raising awareness of social enterprise. By sharing our knowledge about these great companies more people will have access to their services.
Most people know about charity and the concept behind it. The difference between the two is that a charity takes money for a good cause, whereas a social enterprise makes money for a good cause. Social enterprise benefits the provider, the consumer and society as a whole in Devon - a total win-win-situation!
