Social Enterprise

Creative Development is not in business for the sake of it. We work with people who make a difference. We are excited about the differences small changes can make. Our social enterprise arm - Creative Exchange works with projects that major on a social purpose.

Social Enterprise provides an attractive business model which accommodates financial stability, encompassing both commercial and social ambitions. We are interested in working with people who are thinking about the possibilities and the opportunities that the social enterprise movement offers. There are those who have already identified a need and want to see change in their community and others who want to examine ways they can express the social enterprise ethos in their existing business.

Creative Exchange works on small  and large scale projects.  Where individual businesses cannot afford professional fees, we offer at no charge to help you think through your business idea [What keeps you awake at night].   Examples of larger scale projects are Sustainable Tourism - a project in rural Portugal and ANIMATE - a programme to help small firms take their business overseas.
