The Social Enterprise Ambassadors programme was established in 2007 as a three year programme to drive awareness and encourage more people to start up, work for, buy from and partner with social enterprise. 

Over the past three years, the Ambassadors have reached out to a wide range of audiences including young people, entrepreneurs, career changers, government departments, private sector businesses, local community groups, social enterprise start-ups and the media. From new initiatives with the Ministry of Justice, Young Enterprise, and O2, to job swaps with MPs and CEOs in the world of finance, the Ambassadors have pioneered a truly unique programme.

This summer the programme will complete its remarkable run. The Ambassadors, as well as the individuals and organisations they have reached, will be working together over the next few months to ensure that the achievements, projects and partnerships that have come out of the programme will be carried forward. This will culminate in an event in September, to mark the programme’s completion.

The programme will also be carrying out an independent evaluation in order to capture key learnings and evidence of impact.

The Ambassadors as individuals and as spokespeople for social enterprise have been on an incredible journey together. They will all continue to be passionate advocates for social enterprise, using their stories to inspire and motivate others to join our movement.

If you have met or worked with any of the Ambassadors over the last three years, we would love to hear about your experience.  Email us here to tell us your story.
