- Putting it simply.... Two words...social AND enterrpise Eg The Big Issue
- Maslow hierarchy.... We all have diff ways of doing things.... Make lots of money and become philanythropic, do it from teh start... What is clear and well demonstrated in maslow is that once we have our basic needs met
- The results presented here give a cursory view of the demographic and geographical make up of social enterprise in the UK. However hurried, they do present some interesting results. Social entrepreneurship in the UK has not dropped between 2005 and 2006, although mainstream entrepreneurial activity has. However slight the changes may be, it suggests that social entrepreneurship has a broader resilience to exogenous factors like the macroeconomic climate. The gap between male and female entrepreneurship is much narrower for socially oriented ventures than for mainstream ones. While care must be taken not to stereotype all female businesses that they are socially oriented, there is a case for policies and role models that promote business enterprises with a social or environmental purpose.

Levels of social entrepreneurship are higher in the youngest age group, 18- 24, than in any other age category and this is a result that has persisted for a number of years. This may be the case for two reasons: either social entrepreneurship, is a mechanism for teaching young people about entrepreneurship based on sound ethical, environmental and social principles or there is an age effect, and we can expect levels of social entrepreneurship in older age groups to increase over time.

- Can’t expect asset lock AND personal financial investment Do mainstream business advisors understand the social entrepreneur....is there additional support required? Can we work alongside teh public sector and use legislation to create a better procurement framework... Ie smalller contracts/community benefit clauses. NB thsi is not about creating unfair competteive envieonemnt...quite the opposite! Profile and awareness is also important as we show SE as an option, get the public more aware and use SE as a lever to encourage a better way of doing business in teh private sector.... We don’t want another banking crisis!
- The action plan will help to meet the Scottish Government national indicator to increase the social economy turnover in Scotland. It contains a series of actions to be delivered over the period 2008-11 around seven objectives. Opening markets to an enterprising third sector Investing more intelligently Promoting social entrepreneurship Investing in skills, learning and leadership across the third sector Providing support for business growth Raising the profile of enterprise in the third sector Developing the evidence base This action plan is funded through £8.75 million of the £93 million identified for the development and support of the third sector in the Scottish Government budget in November 2007. In addition to this, £30 million has been allocated to the Scottish Investment Fund and £12 million for direct investment in enterprising third sector organisations through the Third Sector Enterprise Fund. Ministerial Foreword As stated by the First Minister in the Government Economic Strategy, the purpose of the Scottish Government is to create a more successful country, with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish, through increasing sustainable economic growth. There is a key role for the third sector in helping us to achieve our purpose. Our three golden rules for ensuring that growth is shared and sustainable are outlined in the Government Economic Strategy. These are solidarity, cohesion and sustainability. There is a very real key role for an enterprising third sector - of which social enterprise is an important part - to play in helping us achieve each of these. Firstly, the third sector contributes to solidarity - social equity. It reaches individuals and communities, including the retired and the long-term unemployed, the rural and minority communities that the public and private sectors do not always effectively engage with. The third sector can, and does, change people's lives. Secondly, the third sector contributes to cohesion - regional equity. Sustainable development and prosperity need to be shared across Scotland. Traditionally, the third sector operates in areas deprived through economic circumstances or geographic remoteness where the private sector often does not operate. Thirdly, the third sector contributes to sustainability - inter-generational equity. Through initiatives such as community recycling, renewable energy and sourcing local foods, the third sector has frequently led the way in putting communities and sustainable development principles at the heart of its business model. The Scottish Government wants to create the right operating conditions in which an enterprising third sector can play a full role in the development, design and delivery of policy and services in Scotland, putting the people of Scotland at the heart of their plans. We want to support a country in which an enterprising third sector is encouraged, valued and is given the opportunities it needs to prove its value and deliver more. Our ambition is for Scotland to lead the world in the development of a truly enterprising third sector.
- Communities Minister Rhona Brankin also announced £1.5 million in resources for an action plan to promote four strategic objectives. These are: raising the profile and demonstrating the value of social enterprise opening up markets to social enterprise increasing the range of finance available to social enterprises developing the trading capacity of social enterprises through better business support At the leading social enterprise, McSence, in Mayfield near Edinburgh, Ms Brankin said: "Social enterprise has a vital role to play in helping the Executive with some of its main commitments for Scotland - growing the economy, delivering excellent public services and supporting stronger communities together with developing a vibrant third sector. "Because social enterprises use the business model to deliver their social aims they can bring real benefits to Scotland's health and community care, education and transport, and deliver excellent services to deprived communities in urban and rural Scotland. "The time has come for social enterprise to take a much more central role in our society and the strategy launched today will be a key driver in helping to do this."
