Over 100 people attended the awards ceremony at the end of November, where social enterprises were recognised for their commitment to a social mission to aid local communities.

Alex Sobel, General Manager of Social Enterprise Yorkshire and the Humber, said:

We were really happy with the trophies which reflect the ethos of Social Enterprises as organisations working together for social benefit.

The fact that Henshaws themselves are a social enterprise working with people with disabilities is an added bonus showing how diverse a sector social enterprise is.
