Janet on Social and Community Enterprise:

"Community enterprise groups taking on social responsibility allows for savings by local government, greater community spirit and more youth engagement which benefits the whole area.

"Programmes such as social enterprises encouraged within the Big Society offer people the ability to increase their skills. This in turn increases the flexibility of the labour market which is essential in combating unemployment in the current economic climate. The concept of the Big Society was designed to progress an age of social and economic aspiration, not an age of austerity."
