Social enterprises are social mission driven organizations which apply market-based strategies to achieve a social purpose.
As the charitable sector grows and organizations work to accomplish more with less, social enterprise has become a valuable tool for community development and non-profit sustainability. Real success in social enterprise is achievable but requires business acumen and community connection in equal measure.
The stronger the sense of community within the enterprise, the greater the firm’s contribution to strengthening the social fabric of the larger community it serves.David C. Korten
Although London Training Centre is a non-profit we believe doing good work and good business are not mutually exclusive.
Our social enterprise goal has a triple bottom line.
- Help people.
- Have a positive impact in our community.
- Generate sufficient revenue to accomplish the other two.
It’s not complex.
That’s our definition of Social Enterprise and we think that’s Good Business.To learn more about London Training Centre and their successful social enterprise activities contact:
