Social Enterprise
Our vision is to continue to develop and support the work of social enterprises in Clare, which aim to improve the quality of life or the environment of their communities, with a particular focus on those which provide innovative supports to rural communities.
CLDC will deliver this vision through:
• Provision of grant aid, training, mentoring and Tús and Rural Social Scheme staff
• Referral to other organisations/ agencies who may be able to support them
• Fostering the development of social enterprise networks
• Capital supports.
See below some examples of Social Enterprises the CLDC has supported
