Yorkshire social enterprises placed on award shortlist
Those working for two social enterprises in Yorkshire have been placed on the shortlist to win a prestigious industry award, it has been revealed.
Harrogate-based Disability Action Yorkshire and the Emmaus village in Carlton are in the running for the Best Social Enterprise prize at the forthcoming Enterprising Solutions Awards ceremony which looks to find the most effective third sector organisation of this kind.
The social enterprise which wins the award will receive £20,000.
Meanwhile, Buttershaw Business and Enterprise College has been nominated for the Best Social Enterprise in Schools prize.
Chief executive of the Social Enterprise Coalition Jonathan Bland said: "These awards are instrumental in showcasing and rewarding the impact of social enterprise in the UK."
He went on to report that social enterprises harness the power of whatever sector they operate in for "the power of the market for the benefit of communities and individuals".
Such news may be of interest to those third sector organisations looking to improve their skills framework.
Last month Social Firms UK and Rise announced that they are to use the latter organisation’’s social enterprise kitemark to provide a quality mark for social enterprises across the country.
