Social enterprises ”to shape Britain following financial crisis”
Social enterprises will play a crucial part in the future of Britain.
Liam Byrne, cabinet office minister, claims that as the economic crisis rumbles on, those operating in such a third sector role will be vital in helping the nation get back on its feet, not only in an economic sense, but also with regards to wider society.
"We”ll explore ways for social enterprises to play a greater role in fighting the downturn, rebalancing our economy and society and shaping post-recession Britain," he states, something that could interest those looking to boost their skills framework.
Mr Byrne’’s comments come ahead of the Social Enterprise Summit taking place on May 12th, which he - alongside business secretary Lord Mandelson - will co-host, an event that will see a number of workshops covering the role of such organisations both during and after the recession.
Earlier this month, Ben Kernighan, deputy chief executive for the National Council of Voluntary Organisations, called for Alistair Darling to plough £50 million into the proposed Social Investment Bank, a move which would provide social enterprises and charities with access to funds with which to develop their services as the downturn continues.
