Improving Lives, Supporting Communities
Every day we deliver a positive social impact, strengthen communities, empower people and improve lives.
Guided by our principles as a social enterprise,we are committed to ensuring sustainable outcomes for communities,
leaving those we work with, stronger and more resilient.
Social Impact
Social Enterprise Kent have been very busy this year, especially since the Covid-19 lockdown.
To see what we got up to last year, take a look at our Social Impact Report.

Social Enterprise Support
Often when social entrepreneurs want to start their very own social enterprise as a charity or community interest company, it's difficult to get the right support and information along the journey to social impact.
Let's Get Working
Working across Thanet, Canterbury, Folkestone, Hythe, Shepway and Dover, Social Enterprise Kent are delivering the exciting 'Let's Get Working' project. Let’s Get Working is a Building Better Opportunities project, funded by the European Social Fund and through the National Lottery Community Fund
'Let's Get Working' is a social prescribing project where we provide intensive , personally tailored and ongoing practical support for disadvantaged people over the age of 16, who are not in work or training due to a disability or long-term physical health condition.
Participants are assigned a dedicated Community Connector who will work closely with them to help them take their next steps towards employment, volunteering, work placements or getting involved in their local community.
