A new web site has been launched for social entrepreneurs and anyone interested in developing a social enterprise.

Partners for Social Enterprise, the sub-regional social enterprise partnership for Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire, aims for its new website (www.pfse.co.uk) to be a valuable resource for those running a social enterprise and anyone who’s thinking about starting one. Partners can share information on upcoming events, stories or documents. For the Partnership the new site is an important tool in the development of a coordinated and growing social enterprise sector in the three counties.

The new website includes sections on news, events and developing a social enterprise as well as a members area where social enterprises can share documents and hold forum discussions.

The website has been developed by the Web Orchard, based in Shrewsbury. ( www.theweborchard.com )
