A new Motion has just been published in The Scottish Parliament called Social Enterprise and Scotland’s Economy.

A Motion is a great way to promote an issue or cause and demonstrate MSP support - ours has already been signed by a good number of MSPs!

Have your own MSPs signed it yet? Take a look.

We're asking you to send a quick email to your local MSP (and ideally your 7 regional MSPs too) asking them to sign the Motion.

Find your MSP email address here using your home address postcode.

Below is some suggested text to send to your MSPs. Do share details about your own social enterprise in the email too and perhaps arrange a meeting or visit with your MSP?

Even if you don't work in a social enterprise your support in contacting your MSPs is welcome!

You need to include your full home postal address in the email too. 

Dear [First name]

Scotland's social enterprise community is supporting people into work, protecting our natural environment and regenerating local economies in every part of urban and rural Scotland.

A new Motion has just been published in The Scottish Parliament that demonstrates the huge economic and social impact of social enterprises, as evidenced in the new Social Enterprise Census report.

As my local MSP would you please consider supporting and signing the Motion?

You'll be aware that every social enterprise is facing big challenges with the costs of living and doing business, while seeking to fulfil an important social mission. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

Yours Sincerely

[Your name]
