CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) is to launch the results of a two-year research project
into social enterprise and the voluntary sector on 30 April 2004 in London.
At “
Social Enterprise in the Balance?”, CAF will publish the findings of the research,
carried out jointly with Manchester University. The study is, says CAF, the first
of its kind to explore the challenges and tensions of social enterprise activity.
It will make some “radical suggestions” to government and the sector, for developing
the support framework for voluntary and community organisations.

The launch will take place during a half-day seminar on 30 April at No 4 Hamilton
Place, London. A panel of practitioners and commentators will lead debate, assessing
the report’s findings amid moves by government to extend the role of charities and
social

enterprises.

As charitable and community groups attempts to reconcile commercial activities against
charitable aims, Social Enterprise in the Balance looks at the future for the new
voluntary sector.

Tickets for the event, priced £55, include a buffet lunch and complimentary

copy of Social Enterprise in the Balance.
