The New P&L speaks to speaks to social innovation leaders, Roshni Patel and Kelly Bewers

Social entrepreneurship is on the rise, driven by those whose passion and purpose it is to affect real change in society.  The evolution of social entrepreneurship over recent years has also demonstrated that ‘not-for-profit’ doesn’t and shouldn’t mean ‘no profit’; as profitability is vital for the ongoing funding of the purpose that sits at the heart of these important organisations. This week, The New P&L – Principles & Leadership in Business podcast series speaks to two UK social innovation leaders about their experiences of working with social impact enterprises and helping them to adapt their thinking and commercial models; as well as discussing how social entrepreneurs can ‘keep the faith’ in tough times and what leadership characteristics are needed by these 'entrepreneurs with a purpose' to ensure they play their part in creating a sustainable, inspiring and successful future for this crucial sector of the economy.
