Social enterprise in every school as Ambassadors' target
Every secondary school and sixth form college in England will have its own social enterprise if the Social Enterprise Ambassadors get their way. The ambassador’s programme, run by the Social Enterprise Coalition, also aims to get ten FTSE 350 companies to commit to a two-way sharing of expertise with social enterprises and to influence public procurement to the extent that all public sector spending decisions should be required to demonstrate their social and environmental impact. These are the three big targets that have just been agreed between the 30 high profile social entrepreneurs to give the project a clear focus. The new targets fit with a new image for the ambassadors including a new logo and the launch of their new website. Work on achieving the schools goal will begin with a pilot in September when 15 ambassadors will go into a number of schools to help them set up their own enterprises.
