Product Description

Book Description
This report examines the growing band of social entrepreneurs who are developing innovative answers to many of Britain’s most pressing social problems, such as homelessness, drug dependency and joblessness. The report is based on case studies of five schemes which exemplify the potential of social entrepreneurs to create forms of active welfare which are both cheaper and more effective than the traditional services offered by the welfare state.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dazzling Inspiring, 21 Jan 2004
By buddingpasha "A multilateralist" (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Social Entrepreneurship has a long tradition in the UK with giants such as Lord Michael Young being on of the best examples , but is seldom examined. Recently there has been a greater interest in this area through New Labour policy. This book gives five examples where people have thought out of the box and produced such amazing social welfare projects. This is the nearest that we in the UK will get to Alchemy....the conversion of base unwanted resources into golden opportunities for improving services for the disenfranchised. Truly amazing!!
