An organisation that has transformed life for thousands of vulnerable people in Birmingham will open its doors to celebrate National Social Enterprise Day.

Enta CIC, based in the heart of the city, will host a special networking breakfast in its popular Top Lock Café at Mill Wharf, Mill Street, to mark the occasion on Thursday 18 November.

The organisation, described as Birmingham's best kept secret, began as a training agency but has grown in function to meet the needs of the community it serves. It now operates a range of social enterprises including state-of-the-art conference facilities, quality catering, a training café and the recently launched Little Mill Nursery.

Business men and women are invited to join other social enterprise ambassadors between 7.30am and 9am, and take advantage of the free networking opportunity in Enta's relaxed canal side café, with breakfast rolls, tea and coffee provided.

Kevin Hayes, Chief Executive of Enta, said: "As one of Birmingham's leading social enterprises we are delighted to host this exciting networking event.

"Social Enterprise Day is the perfect time to invite people in and allow them to see and hear first-hand the positive impact of our work, and the role of other enterprises across the city, which is both motivating and inspiring."

There are more than 62,000 social enterprises in the UK that set themselves apart from ordinary businesses with their social and environmental aims.

The Breakfast Networking event at Enta aims to raise awareness of the impact of social enterprises and is a great opportunity to meet new people and explore future collaborations.
