Social Enterprise Places are areas where social enterprise activity is thriving. From quarters, towns, cities and zones, areas around the UK are declaring themselves as social enterprise places committed to investing in the sector.
Social Enterprise UK is recognising these hotspots of social enterprise activity by awarding them with the Social Enterprise Place badge, celebrating their achievements and supporting them to grow.
Registered Social Enterprise Places will be supported to reach out to and involve local councils, businesses, charities, consumers and budding social entrepreneurs, bringing them together to grow their social enterprise communities. The programme aims to promote, raise awareness, and build the markets for social enterprise at a local and national level.
"This is a great award for the Borough and it means that there will be commitment from the Local Authority and the Business community to work with enterprises and Social businesses and help them to flourish and grow," said a spokesperson for Social Enyterprise Sutton.
"Social Enterprise Sutton will continue its work to bring enterprises and business together and to carry on raising awareness within the Borough and beyond."
