Frequently asked questions
Are you a charity?
no, we are not a charity, but we are a social enterprise. This means that profits made are re-purposed through the enterprise through more employment or discounted goods and services.
What is a Social enterprise?
Think of an organisation that has the heart of a charity, but the brain of a business and you’ll get a good idea of who we are.

However this profit is not consumed by shareholders or owners, rather they get re-purposed through more employment opportunities, launching other enterprises, or giving a way discounted or free goods and services.
