UK Social Enterprise Awards 2012
Hurry! Entries must be received by 26th August 2012
Are you, or is someone you know, running a business that benefits society?
The Social Enterprise Awards celebrate the achievements of the UK’s 68,000 social enterprises – ‘good’ businesses that include co-operatives, Community Interest Companies and trading charities.
The latest figures show that Britain’s social enterprise sector is booming: 1 in 7 of all social enterprises is a start-up, more than three times the proportion of start-ups in the mainstream SME business sector. And over half (58%) of social enterprises grew their business last year, compared to 28% of SMEs.

- Social enterprise leader
- Start-up social enterprise
- UK social enterprise
- Social enterprise supporter
- Youth led social enterprise
- Evidence of impact
- Social entrepreneur
