The Social Enterprise Ambassadors share a common goal – to run successful businesses that make a positive contribution to society. From food to fashion, IT to marketing, they cover a wide range of industries and are proving that social and environmental impact can be combined with financial success.
They want to inspire and help the next wave of social entrepreneurs, so they are offering YOU the chance to win a free one-on-one mentoring session with the Ambassador of your choice. If you’re one of the 28 lucky winners, you’ll spend two hours with them, finding out about the lessons they’ve learnt as successful social entrepreneurs, and how these could support you and your business. This is an amazing opportunity to learn from the best and receive expert advice and guidance, tailored to you and your goals.
Entry is simple: pick the Ambassador you feel could support you the most and explain why you would benefit from a two hour session with them. Get your entry in by 31st March 2010 and you could find yourself face-to-face with one of the country’s leading social entrepreneurs.
