Social Enterprises are businesses that are changing the world for the better. Like traditional businesses they aim to make a profit but it\u2019s what they do with their profits that sets them apart \u2013 reinvesting or donating them to create positive social change. Social enterprises are in our communities and on our high streets \u2013 from coffee shops and craft shops, to garden centres and sports clubs, credit unions and community transport companies.<\/p>

By selling goods and services in the open market, social enterprises\u00a0create employment and reinvest their profits back into their local\u00a0communities. This allows them to tackle social problems, improve\u00a0people’s life chances, provide training and employment opportunities\u00a0for those furthest from the market, support communities and help the\u00a0environment.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

sparking social innovation\u00a0Social enterprises exist in nearly every sector throughout the East Transfrontier Region from consumer\u00a0goods to healthcare, community energy to creative agencies, restaurants to facilities management. The\u00a0thousands of social enterprises within the East Transfrontier Region contribute many millions of Euros\u00a0to the economy and employ thousands of people. They’re creating jobs and opportunities for those
most marginalised from the workforce, transforming the areas they work in and making the\u00a0Sustainable Development Goals a reality.<\/p>

The WIN team helps those working in the NGO sector to:<\/p>

– Define their social and\/or environmental mission and ensure that this is reflected in their governing
documents.<\/p>

– To generate the majority of their income through trading a product or service.<\/p>

– Design reinvestment strategies for their profits.<\/p>

– Maintain their independence from undue political influence.<\/p>

– Ensure that the motivation of their board of volunteers is sustained.<\/p>

– Their social mission is maintained and kept relevant to the needs of society.<\/p>

– That they are compliant with regulatory standards with accountability and transparency.<\/p>

The WIN Social Enterprise Programme also facilitates co-operation and co-production between social\u00a0enterprises. WIN has built a strong social enterprise network across the East Transfrontier Region by\u00a0building partnerships, mentoring and convening networking events.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
