Social Enterprise in Tasmania

There are literally hundreds of social enterprises operating within Tasmania working in a range of industries. For the past 3 years there have been a group of organisations within Tasmania working together to raise the profile of social enterprise, identify the needs and seek opportunities to support the existing social enterprise.
The aim of this site is to provide access to resources that may be of interest while promoting activities and workshops that may assist those wishing to go down the road of social enterprise or those wanting to expand what they are already doing.

A full house

What a fantastic day with more than 70 attending the Social Enterprise Forum in Campbell Town. It was an opportunity to hear about what's happening in Tasmania and further afield, the funding options available and listen to the stories of Tasmania's social enterprises.
David Brookes, Mark Daniels and Libby Ward-Christie presented from Social Traders, the social enterprise development organisation in Victoria. We heard about the Social Enterprise Builder, The Crunch and other programs that support social enterprises both within Victoria and Nationally.
The conversations continue with much more to come, I am sure...
