Social Enterprise
Since 2009 we have worked to advance policies which support social enterprise in Ireland.
About our publications
As we earn a significant portion of our own organisational funding through trading, The Wheel can also be understood as a social enterprise, as well as a charity. Consequently, we understand and support those charities and nonprofits, which like us in The Wheel, are adopting social enterprise methods to achieve their organisation’s impact.
In our representative work in this area, we work as one of the founding partners of a coalition of 12 organisations and key stakeholders, called the Social Enterprise Taskforce (SETF). Formed in 2009 this coalition has provided an effective voice promoting the development of Social Enterprise in Ireland.
These publications, which we have published through the SETF, help to aid understanding for and appreciation of social enterprise in Ireland.
This policy paper is a rallying call for those who believe that we must move urgently towards an economy that works for people and the planet and that social enterprise is at the heart of this.
This is the submission made by the SETF to Forfás on the potential of social enterprise in Ireland for jobs creation. Published in 2012.
This publication describes the work done by The Wheel (and others) as part of the SETF.. Published 2012.
