Projects > Social Audit for Social Enterprise

Measuring the economic, social and environmental impact of your organisation demonstrates not only your accountability to stakeholders but provides a means to review and reassess your aims, objectives and future goals.

Social Enterprise London in partnership with Focus to Work CIC and the University of Brighton Business School are delivering the Social Audit for Social Enterprise Programme, co-financed by the South East England Development Agency and the European Social Fund. The programme's main objective is the development of a standard and effective social audit tool to enable your organisation evaluate your performance against the triple bottom line. Participants will receive a skills assessment and participate in an ILM accredited social audit training programme.

We would like to invite you to attend one of the events taking place in the following areas to raise awareness of the importance of social audit for your organisation and for the social enterprise sector as a whole, and to introduce the training programme. Social audit is as essential to social enterprise as it is to any other business seeking to become a market leader in effective social business practice.
