Social enterprises are organisations led by a social mission that trade as businesses to fulfil that mission. They also contribute to the wellbeing of their participants and their community.
What is this website for?
This website explores where, why and how wellbeing is realised in social enterprises, particularly Work Integrated Social Enterprises to show how they become Spaces of Wellbeing.
Work Integrated Social Enterprises (WISEs)
Work integration social enterprises (WISE) are a type of social enterprise that focus on creating employment or pathways to employment for people who are experience barriers to participating in the labour market.
Spaces of Wellbeing
Wellbeing is about being able to lead a flourishing life. The places and spaces where we live and work play a role in realising wellbeing.
Guided by Spaces of Wellbeing Theory, we explore four inter-related aspects of wellbeing.
01.
Connection (Integration)
Spaces that facilitate developing relationships between peers and with the wider community.
02.
Learning (Capability)
Spaces that support and extend technical and life skills.
.
03.
Support (Security)
Spaces that support physical, social and psychological safety.
04.
Wellness (Therapy)
Spaces that allow for physical or mental comfort, healing and wellness.
