Owned by the social enterprise sector, run by the sector for the benefit of the sector and every community it supports, the Social Enterprise Foundation is THE national membership body for organisational and personal development in the social enterprise sector in the United Kingdom. The mission is simply to…

…drive the establishment of new forms of business that create social and economic value to all communities and reduce the disparities between the most affluent and most disadvantaged communities.

All of us working in and around social enterprise know that delivering this successfully is far from simple. The Social Enterprise Sector is growing at a dizzying pace. Assumptions and values seem to change on a daily basis and new initiatives are coming in from all sides. We are constantly told that social enterprise is ‘the future’; so, why do so many of us feel swamped with information or left behind?

The Social Enterprise Foundation has been established to provide the support that practitioners like us wish was already here. Through the experience and knowledge of all of us in the sector, together we have a greater chance of success. And, better still, we can control the development of our sector ourselves!
