Socially Enterprising is an online platform which brings together communities, civil society, business and the state and allows their strengths, assets and resources to be made available for local benefit.

Our strategy inter-connects ‘place-based collaboration’ and ‘community development’ to create an entirely new national system which is focussed on the needs of place from the perspective of both professionals and communities.

We connect communities to themselves as well as to each other so that they become aware of the possibilities and potential that exists all around them.

Our content strategy for communities makes the local picture visible so that everyone can see the full range of local organisations, activities and events that they can get involved with.

This is local media reinvented to support; community development, civic engagement, health and well-being, actives lives and personal development.

We place communities at the centre of a new story in which they become co-creators of a shared future brought into being through their own actions.

We connect these two worlds of ‘professionals’ and ‘communities’ in such a way that they become a complete system able to help each other realise their full potential.

Today’s challenges are great but not insurmountable.

Issues such as health and well-being, civic engagement, empty high streets, poverty, racism, discrimination, and climate change are national and international concerns we experience on our own doorsteps.

It is here where we can make a difference – through collective, intelligent and compassionate action.
