This survey is being conducted to understand the size and scale of the social enterprise sector in the WDC Region (Clare, Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo) and to create a directory of social enterprises in the region.

Why are your collecting my information?

A Social Enterprise is defined as “an enterprise whose objective is to achieve a social, societal or environmental impact, rather than maximizing profit for its owners or shareholders. It pursues its objectives by trading on an ongoing basis through the provision of goods and/or services, and by reinvesting surpluses into achieving social objectives. It is governed in a fully accountable and transparent manner. Source :National Social Enterprise Policy Ireland 2019 -2022
