Social Enterprises make a significant contribution to London’s economy, providing vital services to local people and delivering real social and economic value to communities.

The 15th March starts the 500-day countdown to the London 2012 Olympic Games. What better time to explore the essential role social enterprise could play in delivering the social and economic benefits promised as part of the legacy of the Games in East London?
