Thank you to all those Award Winners from the HE Social Entrepreneurship programme who completed our survey. We have received invaluable information about the substantial social and economic impacts of the program and the state of social entrepreneurship in Higher Education.
Our research findings will be launched at the Dare To Be Different national conference in June 2011 and will highlight the impact of social entrepreneurship in Higher Education alongside policy recommendations and best practice to create a culture of social entrepreneurship.

As part of the wider impact of the programme which focuses on creating a positive understanding and awareness of social entrepreneurship within HEI's, ten individuals have been recruited to act as advocates to champion higher education social entrepreneurship.

The online social entrepreneurship toolkit has been developed as part of our HEFCE funded programme, aiming to promote and develop a social entrepreneurship culture within Higher Education Institutions across England.
The toolkit is designed to provide the social entrepreneur and support providers with a comprehensive guide to developing social ventures from an initial idea, through setup and piloting and, ultimately, on to longer term sustainability, growth, replication and investment readiness.
The emphasis is on giving practical guidance and working models / frameworks that will help in planning and implementation.
