Hill Holt Wood

Friday 31st July saw the doors of the new Rammed Earth Community Hall opened wide in welcome to guests and friends of Hill Holt Wood to witness the presentation of the Social Enterprise Mark.

Following on from a presentation of certificates to our E2E students Nigel Lowthrop’s introduction was followed by speeches from Karen Lowthrop and Lucy Findlay before Dr Colin Leakey took to the stage to deliver a thought provoking oratory. Dr Leakey then proudly presented the Social Enterprise Mark on behalf of RISE who manage and promote the Mark as an official recognition of true Social Enterprise practices and ethics.

The Mark enables social enterprises to differentiate themselves from private business and any corporate social responsibility schemes whilst for customers, it offers an instantly recognisable label to identify social enterprises; reminding them that by choosing a social enterprise they are helping to create benefits for people and the planet.

The Social Enterprise Mark is presented by RISE, the voice of Social Enterprise in the South-West, supporting the development of sustainable social enterprises.
