Today’s class on social enterprises really got me thinking. I’ve always known about social enterprises but I’ve never really thought about how they could relate to me. After class I started thinking about social enterprises and things that mean a lot to me. After many many hours of thinking I came up with one thing that I’ve been interested in ever since I was a little girl. Sports! Then my search began and I found exactly what I was looking for. A company called “Sports Kitbag” whose social vision is to make sports accessible to anyone! They provide coaching training for unemployed people and find them work and encourage physical activity for everyone. The company makes money by renting out it’s facilities, providing coaching and running a bar. Any profits made by “Sports Kitbag” are put back into the organization to keep it running. If one day I have my own company I hope that it will have a vision as great as this one and will help the community as much as “Sports Kitbag” does. Social Enterprises through sports help bring people together. When people are together playing sports they think more about what they have in common and not what is different.
I’m the third one from the left in the front row.
