Maria Donoghue-Mills has been named as one of 25 Social Enterprise Ambassadors whose aim is to show Britain that companies with social good at their core can be successful and financially secure.
Through the stories and experiences of some of the most inspirational social entrepreneurs in the country, the Social Enterprise Ambassador’s Programme will help the movement to achieve more by raising awareness among key groups and attracting new entrants.
Over the next three years, they will attend events, give speeches and media interviews and meet with key audiences. They will use their own stories to illustrate the potential and value of social enterprise.
The programme is funded by the Cabinet Office and led by the Social Enterprise Coalition.
Maria Donoghue-Mills says,
‘This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase how Novas enables people back to work who have experienced difficulty in their lives. By giving people an opportunity to get good quality work experience with training they can turn this around and use their skills and talents for the wider benefit.’
