Social enterprises in Carmarthenshire are urging members of the public to visit them this ‘Social Saturday’ – October 15.
The aim of Social Saturday is to raise awareness and celebrate just how easy it is to support businesses that buy and sell with a social conscience.
Social enterprises are businesses that trade to tackle social problems, improve communities, people’s life chances or the environment. Within Carmarthenshire there are over 40 social enterprises from coffee shops, to a cinema and a bowling alley each of these reinvest their profits back into the business or local community.
Why not have a family fun day at Gwili Railway, Carmarthen, visit Ramps Skate Park a 12,000 sq ft indoor/outdoor skate park in Llanelli or take a trip to Aberglasney Gardens in the Tywi Valley and enjoy one of Wales’ finest gardens. You’ll be able to engage with these organisations and hear first-hand about how your support and purchase can make a real difference.
Please follow @CarmsCouncil and @Discovercarms on Twitter and Tweet about your visit using #socialsaturday2016 to spread the message. Unleash your spending power and make a difference!
