What is a social enterprise?
A social enterprise is a business that generates income to fund a social purpose.
So in our case this income funds supportive employment opportunities for people
with mental health problems.
Are your services free?
No. We are a
professional business development service providing expert advice to the
social economy. To reflect this we charge for our most of our services

aims.
You said you charge for most of your services.
