More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
The Third Sector includes all those organisations commonly referred to as non-profit or not-for-profit. It includes Charities, Social Enterprises, Community Businesses and other organisations set up for social purposes,
rather than for generating profits for investors.
rather than for generating profits for investors.
There are a number of books produced and aimed at people who work or volunteer in the Third Sector. This book is an attempt to demystify Social Enterprise for a general reader.
Why does Social Enterprise matter? It matters because it represents an alternative way of looking, at how business works, how it impacts society and how social ends can be delivered differently from the traditional
philanthropic charity model.
From the Publisher
"Very clearly written and informative. I've now passed it on to my Finance Manager". - Chief Executive, Homeless Charity.
"I read your book last week and almost wept - for 5 years I have been looking for a simple, plain speaking and down to earth book for my students - I now have it in your book!" - Centre for Enterprise, Manchester Metropolitan University Business School
"Those new to social enterprise should find the coverage of charity trading, legal structures, the explanations of the terminology, and the arguments for social enterprise as a business model, particularly useful. For me, the book put into words what I've had in my head for many years but never been able to articulate.". - Social Enterprise East of England, Newsletter
