social enterprise

Well, I cycled in today for the first time, just avoiding 2 major rain showers and a hailstorm. The ride was much more pleasant than anticipated, however I need to try and get to Edinburgh Bicycle Co-operative before 6pm when it closes to buy a pair of cycling gloves.

I am looking at a number of Social Enterprise share opportunities for tomorrow. I am thinking about Go Co-op shares as this challenge has already heightened my awareness of the need for more transport.  Go Co-op aims to provide their own public transport services, although their shares cost £500 each!

Another option is Shared Interest who provide micro-finance for fair-trade enterprises in the developing world and shares go for £100 each.

Chapeltown Development Trust is my local development trust which has just started and I already have a members share for £10 but anybody can buy an investors share for £100 and the investment will help fund our first project a community broadband system for the local area, I am not totally impartial as I am a director of the Trust.

Thanks to fledglings who have acknowledge receipt of my order for a jungle snoozy.
