Social enterprises ”becoming more essential to economy”
There is no better time than the present for those working for social enterprises, it has been suggested.
In research carried out by YouGov, it was revealed that some 42 per cent of Britons want to see more of these sorts of organisations throughout the country.
Meanwhile, the same percentage of respondents claimed that the values behind social enterprises are set to become more important to business during a period of economic recession.
Jonathan Bland, chief executive of the Social Enterprise Coalition, stated that such organisations "are going to be more essential than ever in today’’s economy".
He added: "These results really make it clear that the time is ripe for a business revolution."
Such news could be of interest to those working for social enterprises that are looking to improve their skills framework.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that the Scottish government is set to launch a £1 million Social Entrepreneurs Fund next year aimed at assisting those looking to launch such an organisation.
