This site is all about some of the most inspirational and switched on people in Britain. All of them, from Tim Smit of the Eden Project, to Reed Paget of Belu Water and Emily Eavis of the Glastonbury Festival, lead social enterprises. What's more, they believe social enterprise is the business model for the 21st Century.

Social enterprise is big news: businesses and charities are excited by it; forward-thinking ethical types are connecting with it; schools are getting involved in it; and the government is supporting it. 

Why? Because social enterprise is all about modern business solutions to social problems. It’s the perfect way of working to make a sustainable difference to our communities, without the insecurity of relying on grants and donations. Social enterprises support themselves financially in extremely innovative ways.

All the people on this site are innovators, they’re leaders, they’re business people, they’re social entrepreneurs and they have a conscience. Their companies mix super-smart business skills with a deep concern for social issues. They are Britain’s social enterprise ambassadors.

The ambassadors want the rest of country to understand social enterprise, why it works so well, and how people can support it or work in it. They want more people to wake up every day feeling that they are creating a sustainable future for society.

Do you want to love getting out of bed each morning? The ambassadors do, and they believe that if you get involved in social enterprise you will too. Make it Your Business to Make a Difference. Explore the site and feel inspired...
