full potential that social
enterprise has. It’s not just
about helping to tackle social
problems at the community
level; it’s about mainstream
businesses delivering public
services with a distinctive
focus on quality, serving the
community, and employee
pride. You showed us that
social enterprises are not just
creating social good, but
creating jobs and
opportunity.”
