I’ve worked with social and ethical enterprises on setting up, what they’re about and helping to make them work better since the mid-1990s. Well before you’d write anything like a blog post about them. Some of this early work is covered in The story of a sense of place. Some more recent examples are here. Some of it’s work and all of it’s because I’m interested.
