So, did you know today was social enterprise day?
A big part of the annual event is the #WhoKnew digital campaign, established in 2016 it gives social enterprises the platform to tell their stories and share the impact of their work. All day organisations across the UK and beyond have been sharing the impact of their work; a great tonic for such a tough year.
And it has been a tough year, there’s no doubt many of us have struggled as we take on the challenge of the new normal and building back better. So, today has been great to reflect on all the good we’ve been able to do; making 2020 that little bit brighter.
Here’s what we’ve got up this year; all with the support of our key partners; OrstedUK, Onward Homes, The National Lottery Community Fund and The Torus Foundation…
