About this company

Community Enterprise

View full company profile

Established 37 years ago, Community Enterprise Ltd first started operating as Community Enterprise Lothians in 1987. Originally funded by the Urban Regeneration Fund, CE Ltd worked in deprived areas of Edinburgh developing local businesses and supporting local people. As the role of social enterprise in regenerating our communities has become more recognized, and as community empowerment has become more widespread, so has the importance of delivering ‘hands-on’ development support to community organisations wishing to become more effective and more sustainable. This change in environment and need has also led to the evolution of Community Enterprise itself. From being an intermediary organisation operating in Edinburgh, signposting community organisations to possible assistance, we have now become the direct deliverer of that assistance and expertise and operate throughout Scotland. Community Enterprise Ltd is a social enterprise itself, currently earning the majority of its own income through its trading subsidiary, but using grants to fund specific programmes. Our vision is of a society where social and financial wealth is created by, and used for the benefit of, empowered communities.
