According to Sydney Hushie, Partnerships, Skills and Enterprise Lead at the British Council, “social enterprises tackle social and environmental problems. They create jobs and generate income like other businesses, but instead of channelling their profits to owners, they reinvest them to support their social mission.
In doing so, they are improving people’s lives in our communities, creating jobs, creating wealth and improving societies.”
The Event organizers, Xodus Communications assured the Council on the sustainability of the award and the credibility in the selection process.
CEO of Xodus Communications, Richard Abbey Jnr.
“We believe that in putting the spotlight on these young achievers it will not only celebrate them but also build a strong platform for them by giving a voice and opportunities to the next generation of industry pacesetters whiles building a positive attitude in our youth to strive for excellence at a tender age.”
The British Council which is UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, promotes the development of social enterprise and social investment to help foster a more sustainable, inclusive and prosperous future.
It does so by providing social entrepreneurs with access to training, business consulting and mentoring opportunities, access to funding and investment opportunities, study tours and international exposure.
