Possibilities NI is a social enterprise which has been set up to generate income for Gingerbread in the future. A social enterprise is a trading company, often established by a charity, which is designed to be profit making but not profit taking. In other words, it operates in exactly the same way as a normal private company, but crucially all of the money it makes goes to support social causes. In our case, the money we make will support Gingerbread’s work with one parent families.
Like many charities we often find it difficult to raise the funds that we need to carry out the important work that needs to be done. Offering services in training and consultancy has allows us to use existing skills within our organisation to generate vital income we need to provide services for lone parents in the future.
