Aberdeen Social Enterprise Network is an independent and self-managing gathering of social enterprises.  The network provides social enterprises with an opportunity to exchange information, offer mutual support and address issues of common interest.

"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."
