Having read the leaders of the social enterprise movements reaction to the news of the election, I remain confident of the enterprise I manage (Gateway Media) continued growth in the coming years. As City Gateway's longest established social enterprise I'm also pleased to have been referred to very positively by David Cameron last year, hopefully he hasn't forgotten the impact that social enterprises can have if properly supported;
I see a really important role for social enterprises, like City Gateway in Tower Hamlets, which takes young adults from local estates and trains them in the skills our economy will need in the future like web design. These social enterprises have the local knowledge, the human touch, and sensitive understanding of the complex and interconnected problems of educational failure and worklessness and I want to see more City Gateways come in, take this recession by the scruff of the neck and help get people into work.
David Cameron, Prime Minister.
