What is a Social Enterprise?
It’s business for good, and when they profit, society profits.
The Artisan Market Online is a brand delivered by Naturally North Coast & Glens C.I.C who is a Social Enterprise, we reinvest our profits in creating positive social change through supporting small businesses and individuals, and revitalising towns and villages, bringing communitites together through the delivery of markets.
Why buy from a Social Enterprise?
In recent years social enterprises have expanded from service-based initiatives to commercial products that promote social good. Similar to ourselves.
Originally Naturally North Coast & Glens C.I.C, offered services to businesses and local authorities etc, but with recent diversifications including our 'Seasons of the Glens Farm Shop', 'The Artisan Market Online', and 'Devils Churn Caramel Sauces' we are now also offering products directly to the consumer, which meet our social mission and help generate profit for good in our communities!
Profits from NNCG, The Artisan Market Online, Seasons of the Glens Farm Shop and Devils Churn Caramel Sauces are reinvested to help bring about change, to deliver markets, bring people together, make people happier, support businesses, and in a nutshell help make the world a better place! You're helping every time you buy from us.
Everyone will have their own reason for 'Buying Social' but below are a few examples of why some customers 'buy social'
- I feel like I'm giving giving something back to society - and BONUS I'm getting something directly in return yourself
- Social Enterprises put people before profit in a reasonable and responsible way
- I get a sense of Happiness that I've contributed to something good.
- Buying from social enterprises is a way to turn my consumerdom back into citizenship
- If I'm going to buy something anyway, why not buy from an organisation that are giving back to society
- I've been directly touched or involved in the social cause dealt with by the social enterprise I'm buying from.
