New additions to the Lewis Psychology CIC team
Lewis Psychology CIC celebrate ethical business award
We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded the prestigious Social Enterprise Mark, which identifies us as trading for social and environmental purposes.
The Social Enterprise Mark is the brand for social enterprises and was launched 1st February, 2010. The Mark identifies businesses which meet defined criteria for social enterprise, and consumers will recognise that businesses displaying the Mark are trading to benefit people and planet.
Government data estimates that there are 62,000 social enterprises across the UK, contributing £24 billion to the economy and employing around 800,000 people.
Social enterprises are working to make a difference across the UK and beyond, but not enough people know what they are or how they work. The Social Enterprise Mark aims to raise awareness of what social enterprises do in order to get more people to buy from, engage with, start up and work for social enterprises.
Teresa Lewis, founder and director, said, "We're really proud to have been awarded the Social Enterprise Mark. Lewis Psychology CIC is absolutely committed to supporting sustainable businesses and consequently helping local communities to thrive and prosper. Social enterprise is a different way of doing business, and is especially relevant at a time when people increasingly want to use companies that put their profits back into the community, rather than into the pockets of shareholders".
Lucy Findlay champion from the Social Enterprise Mark Company advised: "With more and more opportunities opening up every day for social enterprises to deliver health services, the Social Enterprise Mark has an important role to play in helping people understand when their health provider is genuinely socially motivated. The Social Enterprise Mark is available across the country and we hope its the next 'Fair Trade'-type success story in helping people buy in a more 'ethical' way".
