Gifting the world of social enterprise with stories which inspire and unite – Karis Gill, Social Stories Club
Listen now
Description
Karis Gill was already a serial entrepreneur when she discovered social enterprise. She figured gifts are a wonderful way to introduce people to what she, like Heidi, believes is the future of business. Social Stories Club, a social enterprise Karis co-founded, offers gifts (wonderful products which make a difference) accompanied by engaging, powerful stories. Karis describes how it maps and manages its impacts; how it uses stories; and how she and her team decide what products to include. The business gives opportunities to people with barriers to employment and is going from strength to strength – but how did it weather the storms of the pandemic, an enormous fall in orders from corporate clients, and a cardboard packaging shortage? Karis explains and tells us the story of Social Stories Club. Links: Social Stories Club.More about Heidi's work at  https://www.makeanimpactcic.co.uk
