In this first edition of Charity Finance for 2012, we tackle a question many would love to have answered - what exactly is social enterprise? With increasing levels of government and European funding being made available for this form of activity, growing numbers of both charities and for-profit companies are keen to describe themselves as social enterprises.
Vibeka Mair charts the rise in popularity of social enterprise from the early 1990s and asks whether it's a genuinely new concept or just traditional charity re-badged? And Simon Teasdale, from the Third Sector Research Centre, gives one of the best answers I have seen to this question...
We also hear from three practitioners who are all running social enterprises of different forms.
Also in February's edition:
