Social Enterprise Awards 2009
23rd June 2009
Social Enterprise Award
Social Enterprise Yorkshire & the Humber and Business Link Yorkshire are launching the annual search to find the region’s most dynamic and innovative social enterprises. Entries for the Social Enterprise Awards open on 15 June.
Judges are looking for outstanding examples of businesses that are delivering real social impact and competing effectively in a commercial market. Antony Radley, head of social enterprise for Business Link, who organise and sponsor the awards, said: “We are looking for examples of best practice that would be groundbreaking in more traditional commercial businesses.
Social enterprises are operating in the same economic climate as other businesses so we are looking for those that are bucking the trend.
“Often social enterprises don’t realise just how good they are.
These awards are a great way of benchmarking your performance and achievements against others”
There are five categories in the Social Enterprise Awards:
Start up of the Year, Social Enterprise in Education, Innovation in Enterprise, Social Entrepreneur of the Year and Social Enterprise of the Year.
The closing date for entries is July 17.
