| Event Name: | Introduction to social enterprise and legal structures Red Ochre |
| Description: | Social enterprises are businesses driven by a social or environmental purpose. As with all businesses, they compete to deliver goods and services, but social purpose is at the very heart of what they do, and any profits made are reinvested towards achieving that purpose.
Many are championing social enterprise as the solution for many of the shortfalls of the voluntary sector, and a means of harnessing the energies and commitment of those who are seeking to improve society.Yet the very concept provokes argument and dissent and is little understood.
What is social enterprise?
Are you or should you be a social entrepreneur?
How do you become a social entrepreneur?
Have you got what it takes?
There are also many potential structures that you can adopt for your project or organisation within the social sector. Ensuring that the right structure is chosen is a crucial consideration for your future success. Approaching legal structures through a historical context, and using audience participation, you will be able to work out the best structure for your current and future projects.
