Following a suggestion from a friend I applied for this mainly out of interest but also as I had been so let down by organisations that are set-up to support enterprises such as I have been researching. Their scope of understanding and ability to be professional seemed to be very Ltd even after changing and improving along the way.
It may seem curious to have a school for social entrepreneurs, surely there cannot be that much to it?
Think again. It is a complex entity all on its own from mainstream business although it must survive in the world of commerce, cut-backs and progress often making it a second option for someone wanting to take up the challenge of an enterprise of any sorts.The SSE helps to inspire and build the confidence to make it an essential part of our social well-being.
