In our fifth and last Social Enterprise podcast, we are chatting about the increasing number of social enterprises emerging in the leisure and fitness industry and Sport’s impact on the community. We explore the value of interweaving sport with health, social inclusion and local economic development. We ask what social enterprises can do to increase their chances of achieving sustainability and profitability, the economic actors involved and the enabling technology that needs to be adopted. We also discuss the need to create sustainable financial models that can permanently shift the social and economic equilibrium for their targeted beneficiaries. 

Featuring:

Michelle Licciardi, Dublin South City Partnership on behalf of Social Enterprise Dublin 

Sinead Ryan, Little Fitness

Brian Crooke, ParkHiit
