Support social enterprise by eating or shopping at one!
New Social Enterprise Directory
The new, global Social Enterprise Dining Map lists more than 300 restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, ice cream stores and catering services in eight countries on three continents. The latest batch of additions came from the Kibble Education and Care Centre (specifically Ruth Alcorn and Andrea Aitken) of Scotland; they posted more than 100 new eateries located in England, Scotland, Holland, Ireland, Australia and Hong Kong.
So far in May alone, more than 6000 people have visited the SE Dining Map, and this numbers keeps growing. More importantly, we’re now hearing stories of people using our directories to find an SE while they’re traveling (or even in their home city).
That’s our goal: to make it easier for you to find SEs and buy things from them.
Free SE Mobile Directory Available Soon
Based on numerous requests for an SE directory available on cell phones, the npEnterprise Forum has created and will soon release a GPS-enabled, mobile listing of retail social enterprises around the world. It will be called Social Impact.
