Understanding Social Enterprise | Horsham

Over 2 days, you will be introduced to the objectives, purpose and practice of social enterprise in rural communities.

People, planet, and profit – the three elements at the heart of all social enterprises.  But how can social enterprise be used as a driver for economic and community development?
