Many valuable #skills come from hands-on experience in work settings, an approach that #SocialEnterprises have long experience delivering. Yet, they face challenges in providing this kind of training.
Our policy brief points out these challenges and puts forth recommendations

Collecting, sorting, repairing, preparing for reuse, passing on skills, running second-hand shops... Women take on many roles across our network of #SocialEnterprises and help make our communities more sustainable and inclusive.
On #InternationalWomensDay, a few glimpses of this work in practice ⬇️
RREUSE has responded to EU consultations under the future Union of Skills. We call for real recognition of #SocialEnterprises as training providers, for #circular skills gained on the job to count, and for VET systems to reflect the specific needs of reuse and repair activities. 🔗 buff.ly/JFhMX2e

👕 The EU adopted new rules to stop the destruction of unsold textiles.
RREUSE welcomes efforts to give flexibility to #SocialEnterprises receiving unsold goods as donations. However, several exemptions risk opening loopholes for destruction.

Enjoyed recent holiday to #Uganda to see Murchison Falls, "Big 5" Safari animals, River Nile and Lake Victoria - but also good to see #socialenterprises in education, conservation and agriculture creating real value
I started on this journey by a friend from school whose mother worked for a homelessness charity, and they needed some IT support. I saw firsthand the frustration and wasted time the charity staff had gone through using a CRM system that was built to measure profit, not impact. After talking more to this and other charities, I realised that this was not an isolated problem and that no software exists to service the homelessness sector. As a computer scientist, I saw it as my duty and purpose to build something designed from the ground up to empower people to effectively support some of the most vulnerable in our society.

#SocialEnterprises are under great pressure. Textiles are piling up. Their warehouses are full, funding is scarce and reusable textiles are being burned due to a lack of viable alternatives.
Ahead of the Environment Council, we call for immediate action. ➡️https://rb.gy/u3p1h1

The #WFD vote has been pushed from June... to October! 👎
Delaying the vote delays EPR for textiles, prolongs the funding gap, and holds back vital support for #SocialEnterprises.
While the textile crisis continues to grow, action stalls.
📢 We urge the EU Parliament to move the vote forward.

Waste is piling up, and the #CircularEconomyAct must do more than manage it. Our new paper calls for real action: prevent waste by prioritising the upper levels of the waste hierarchy, make polluters pay, and support #SocialEnterprises driving change on the ground.

If all essential services could be run as #SocialEnterprises it would be a much better solution.
It can be done. Welsh Water is a not for profit org that reinvests surplus into making things better for its customers.
