The Mill House Ventures events

SERVICE ONE and other social enterprises operate for-purpose and for-profit and we have a vested interest to see other social enterprises get off the ground in the hope future generations will have real choice when it comes to the types of businesses they want to deal with. That’s why we’re proud to support The Mill House Ventures as they present a series of workshops for aspiring social entrepreneurs.

What is a social enterprise? 

Social enterprises are businesses that:

• are driven by a public or community cause – be it social, environmental, cultural or economic
• derive most of their income from trade, not donation or grants, and
• use the majority of their profits to work toward their social mission. 

These social enterprises exist to Do Good… just like SERVICE ONE!

SERVICE ONE and The Mill House Ventures 

SERVICE ONE is a founding partner of The Mill House Ventures.

Over the years, we’ve supported The Mill House Ventures to run their Social Enterprise Accelerator program and we’ve provided seed funding to help a number of social entrepreneurs get their business idea off the ground or to amplify the positive impact they are having!

The Mill House Ventures is designed to nurture and support social enterprises through: 

• access to the Social Enterprise Accelerator program and the Mill House Clinic
• advice, mentoring and entrepreneurial education, and 
• introductions to potential partners and customers.
