Posted on September 11, 2015

The aim of Social Saturday 2015 is to raise awareness of just how easy it is to support social enterprise businesses that trade quality items and services, and that re-invest profits in projects supporting the local community, international development, the environment, charities and a wealth of other progressive schemes.

It will be a great opportunity to come along and meet some of Falkirk’s inspiring social enterprises, see the wonderful products and services they offer, and give you the chance to make a difference to the local community by Buying Social and Buying Local.
