Local Government Leading the Way in Supporting Social Enterprise

In 2009 drawing on the learnings from the Parramatta Social Enterprise Hub program and the GROW (now Regional Development Australia) report Towards a Social Enterprise Strategy for Greater Sydney, Parramatta City Council seed-funded Social Enterprise Sydney (SES), collaborating with a small working group on the development of the concept. SES is based on the Social Enterprise London model and will be a practitioner-led and membership-driven social enterprise providing specialist services to social enterprises and key supporting stakeholders across the Greater Sydney Region. Seed-funding for the start-up phase is currently being sought.
