We help people tackle society's big problems.
Our mission is to empower and equip people with entrepreneurial ideas and solutions to grow the social economy.
We are always learning
We listen to understand. We are passionate about learning and seek to constantly improve. We celebrate failure as well as success.
We are collaborative
We achieve more when we work as a supportive team and partner with others. We have fun together. We ask others for help so we can find solutions.
We are entrepreneurial
We innovate with purpose to create value and deliver results. We are bold and ambitious in our thinking, creative and resourceful in our action. We are committed to impact.
We are inclusive
We want people to feel safe in being themselves, to maintain wellbeing and to bring their unique strengths and voices to the table. We over-represent the under-represented. We honour lived experience.
We are trusting
We believe in each other. We rely on open, authentic relationships. We do what we say we’re going to do. We take ownership and responsibility for our actions.

We can’t fix issues like poverty, climate change and ill-health alone. That’s why the School for Social Entrepreneurs exists.
We help 1,000 people a year develop the skills, strengths and networks they need to tackle society’s biggest problems.
We run courses that equip people to start, scale and strengthen organisations that make a positive difference.
But we’re not a traditional school. Learning with SSE is inspiring, action-based and accessible.
We support in others ways too, such as funding and mentoring.
