Enterprise attempts to date…
Community Cafe
Second hand shop High volunteer costs, staffing costs. As above, more of a service than a business due to client group
Struggles to break even. More of a service than a business due to target audience
Charging for counselling Compromised ethos of St Vincent’s
Commissioning debt services
Charging social housing providers for priority access for tenants to our debt services, provide financial literacy education to tenants, and basic debt advice training for housing staff. Working with 2 s.h.a. so far.
Developing Yorkshire Community Co-operative (Y-CoCo)
Great potential but lack of track record making it difficult to secure first contract
Hour LeedsGood launch last month, positive media coverage and in the first 2 weeks generated over £2k. Corporate launch planned with Ed Balls fronting.
