You may be thinking about starting your own social venture or you may have already started your project. But do you have what it takes to be a social entrepreneur?
Here we present a selection of shops, restaurants, charities and social enterprises that can help you to lead a more sustainable life in Oxford. It's by no means comprehensive - for that look to the resources below:
One great handbook is the OUSU Environment and Ethics Committee's Handbook.
“Social enterprises are defined as businesses with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders and owners.”
-- Office of the Third Sector

This section can help you do whatever you're doing more effectively. Whether you want to get a project off the ground or know where to get cheap printing, hopefully you'll find something of use here, offered by the Hub or at the suggestion of others.
