As it is a Social Enterprise
one expects it to be a business with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders and owners. It is also working with Vivacity, an independent, not-for-profit organisation with charitable status that manages many of Peterborough’s most popular culture and leisure facilities on behalf of Peterborough City Council (http://www.vivacity-peterborough.com/mus...e/flag-fen).
As a matter of interest... is providing work and creating profit a bad thing? Most of the negative comments I have seen across the web are 125 quid... I am not paying that... not fair, what about the students etc...
If I asked you to contribute to say... A Palestinian archaeology project OR a Georgian Museum the rattle of coinage would come in... with no return/reward.
In this case you can actually get something for your contribution. and archaeology gets done. good archaeology that needs to be done. and people get work and people get something for their contribution. When you contributed to the Palestinian project, did you complain that you were excluded? :face-huh:
Just a thought. This is a new way - and so will attract critique - which if positive will be good and helpful.
