The South Eastern Social Enterprise Hub, which comprises Downpatrick and Lisburn premises, is one of eleven Hubs established across the nine Social Investment Zones under the Northern Ireland Executive’s Delivering Social Change Framework.

With £4million of funding from the Executive’s Delivering Social Change Fund, the Social Enterprise Hub Signature Programme tackles poverty, dereliction and unemployment by encouraging social enterprise business start-up within local communities.

Delivering Social Change is the Executive’s framework, set up to tackle poverty and social exclusion. It aims to deliver a sustained reduction in poverty and associated issues across all ages and to improve children and young people’s health, well-being and life opportunities thereby breaking the long term cycle of multigenerational problems.
