Event Aiming To Inspire Next Generation Of Clare Social Enterprises On Today

An event aiming to inspire the next generation of Clare's Social Enterprise's will take place in Ennis today. Social Enterprises' are businesses which rather than focusing on profits, prioritise social, societal and environmental issues. There are roughly 70 in Clare, including groups like Obair Meals on Wheels and Community Creche and Clare Haven Charity Shop. The expo is being held at the Temple Gate Hotel in Ennis this afternoon from 2pm until 4pm. Clare Local Development Company Enterprise and Social Enterprise Development Officer Siobhán Purcell says their contribution to society is immense.
