About the Welsh Social Enterprise Coalition

The Welsh Social Enterprise Coalition is the national body for social enterprise in Wales.

We are a membership-led organisation and together with our members, are the collective voice for Welsh social enterprise. We run regular networking events and policy working groups, and meet regularly with policymakers to represent the views of our members.

Our members are social enterprises as well as private businesses, charities and public sector organisations who support our vision of a world where social enterprise is the usual way of doing business.

We work to ensure that social enterprise is at the forefront of the business and political agenda in Wales and our members are at the heart of the campaigns we run to raise awareness of social enterprise. We keep our members informed of any developments and innovations so that they stay ahead of the game and offer them a range of benefits and opportunities including advertising jobs and events for free, profiling members on our busy website and helping them gain media coverage.
