The Monthly Business Group for August touched on Social Enterprises and how businesses can become more ethical. Vanessa Augustus* vibrantly led the session with some extremely thought provoking questions and messages. We were taken through what a social enterprise and a social entrepreneur was and looked through local examples. We also analysed the larger firms and the social responsibility news stories we had come across.
The session proved a great way to show pre start businesses how beneficial it can be to have your ethical practices in place from the start.
*Vanessa Augustus is the Director at a Manchester based social enterprise, the Social Solutions Academy. She has worked in the Third Sector for nearly twenty years. Working at the heart of the community Vanessa is a creative social innovator trainer and coach. Vanessa self-financed the Social Solutions Academy (SSA) in September 2009. This pioneering approach to brokerage support and building partnerships across sectors has successfully supported over 350 social entrepreneurs, public sector representatives and private sector executives.
