Advocacy
We aim for an Ireland where social enterprises are recognised as being a valuable and necessary part of the economy and society.
Irish Social Enterprise Network
Social Enterprise in Ireland has a home. We are here to help social enterprises, social entrepreneurs and social innovators in getting their idea off the ground and providing the supports to grow. We are here to build a network that will change and impact their social mission as well as foster an entrepreneurial sphere of passionate and groundbreaking models of social change. We are here to:
- Be an open and inclusive network for social enterprise social entrepreneurs and social innovators
- Provide and direct people to supports and training
- Help shape public policy
- Provide visibility and a channel for telling the stories of each enterprise, innovator, and entrepreneur
- A safe space for developing social enterprises, entrepreneurs and innovators
