************************************************************************ Social Enterprises
Social Enterprises are businesses set up to tackle social, economic or environmental issues. Driven primarily by social and/or environmental motives, they engage in activities of a commercial nature in order to produce social and community gain. Social enterprises are committed to social inclusion and social justice.

SocialEnterprise.ie Update
What a fantastic evening in the Glenroyal Hotel on Tuesday 6 March. John Bennett from the Welsh Social Enterprise Coalition gave an inspiring insight of his work with networks in Wales and his experience of being a social entrepreneur..24 years on! For those of you who wish to watch the interview with John Bennett and Jerr Boschee on You Tube Clip again, this time with volume! Just click on the link below.
 
We have come a long way in a short space of time but we are excited to announce some incredible SocialEnterprise.ie progress. The energy is palpable and the network is strong and growing. We are working on our network. We have listed to the members and we think there has never been more ofa need to make a network a reality.
Networks - Niall Morris, niall@libertiesrecycling.ie. The sub group have been discussing network and hubs, strategic planning and regional groups.
Support and Training - Rhona O'Connor, roconnor@ageaction.ie. Supports have been set up and courses are being run. We listened to what was needed on the ground and support was made available.
Communications - Michael Quilligan mquilligan@gmail.com. Decisions were made on social media, websites and messaging. You will see the results very soon!
Policy - The group have met and looked at international best practice and have elected Stuart Frasier to be our contact point and voice. SocialEnterprise.ie has a real voice that can help change public policy.
Work has been done. But we are most excited about the future of the network, the connections we are yet to make and the open approach to social enterprise, social entrepreneurship and social innovation in Ireland.
Please share this information with your networks who you think may be interested in what is happening on the ground in SocialEnterprise.ie. Keep up with what is happening by joining the conversations on our links below and SIGN UP today by emailing your name, organisation and contact details to info@socialenterprise.ie for our next event.
