Having managed the Work Programme since 2012, Social Enterprise NI are delighted to be formally recognised and reappointed by the Minister for the Economy as the representative body responsible for driving the growth of the social economy in Northern Ireland.
We would like to thank all our members and partners from across multiple sectors locally and further afield for their ongoing support. This provides us with further opportunities to raise the awareness of the sector through our ongoing work on social value legislation, our pursuit of a long-term strategy to support the sector in NI and our willingness to work with others to ensure that the social economy supports the development and roll out of the Community Wealth Building agenda.
"We are at a pivotal moment and a crossroads for supporting the local social economy. We are committed to establishing and positioning the sector at the heart of the NI economy. We look forward to working collaboratively with the Minister for the Economy to help deliver on his vision for the NI economy.
