What is a social enterprise?
Organisations or initiatives within charitable businesses that trade with a clear social or environmental mission while reinvesting their profits in their business. Social enterprises can empower communities, tackle social problems and create jobs.

Some of the enterprises we support
Through our partnership, you've provided Beith Trust with a strong foundation and confidence to develop concepts through to viable enterprises. Without support like this, it is difficult to see how ambitious community projects like Geilsland Estate could gain enough traction to reach their full potential.
