"A social enterprise is a business with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders and owners."

.About Us
'RIERSEP is a partnership of support agencies and social enterprises across Renfrewshire, Inverclyde and East Renfrewshire.

We are set up to help the social economy sector grow and develop. Recently merged from three separate local social economy partnerships, we believe that by working together we will achieve a great deal more for the local social economy sector. As we are a new partnership, we are still developing our aims, ways of working and action plans.

We will publish these on this website as soon as we can. In the meantime, please do Contact Us if you would like more information
