Social Ark partnered with East Wick + Sweetwater and the London Legacy Development Corporation to distribute a £10k pot of funding to support our young East London social entrepreneurs. Check out the film by Social Ark alumni Joe Tamplin and take a look at how our #SocialArkFamily stepped up to serve their communities when it was needed the most.

“Social Ark is a brilliant example of how working class communities can use the social enterprise model to take back control in their communities. As Patron of Social Enterprise UK it’s exactly the sort of example I wanted to see and now I hope to share their story with communities across the UK. Everything I saw on my visit demonstrated that real grassroots change is possible when the resources and tools social enterprise can provide, are matched with the determination and passion of individuals who have the lived experience of the inequalities they seek to change. It was a huge privilege to spend my Friday evening with the family of social entrepreneurs and their founder Lisa Stepanovic. The impact Lisa and Social Ark is making is saving lives and will clearly lead to many of the young social entrepreneurs becoming the next generation of community leaders.” - Michael Sheen, Actor & Patron of SEUK
