Eleanor Healthcare Group

Social Enterprise

At Eleanor Healthcare Group, we are proud to operate a variety of social enterprises, all driven by our mission to create positive social change while empowering individuals with learning disabilities and mental health conditions.

What is Social Enterprise?

Social enterprises are businesses with a purpose – they aim to make a profit like traditional businesses but distinguish themselves by reinvesting or donating their profits to address social issues. By selling goods and services in the open market, social enterprises create employment opportunities and reinvest their profits back into their business or the local community. This enables them to tackle social problems, improve people’s lives, provide training and employment opportunities, support communities, and promote environmental sustainability.
