About Social Enterprising

The School of Social Entrepreneurs defines a social entrepreneur as:

“Someone who works in an entrepreneurial manner, but for public or social benefit, rather than simply to make money. Social entrepreneurs may work in ethical businesses, government and public bodies, or the voluntary and community sector.”

Social entrepreneurs are people who see the world differently. They see opportunity where others see challenge. They see potential where others see problems. What makes them different from other entrepreneurs is that they have a very strong social conscience. Creating vast personal wealth or a large corporation does not excite them half as much as creating sustainable social change. - From  the book ‘How to be a Social Entrepreneur’ by Robert Ashton
