Social Enterprise in UK - UnLtd site

An exciting and unexpected find UnLtd site - came via a two step hop from FT article "Make yourself happy to help" via following the link about Carmel McConnell about the charity she founded Magic Breakfast . Incidentally, and extended version of the article is available at on Ecademy together with a free and full length podcast interview with Carmel McConnell .

The excitement comes from the fact that there is a large repository of social action type undertakings with information on the Starpeople, winners of Millenium Commission awards. Moreover, there is a thriving UnLtd's ideas bank which "allows you to post, share and discuss UK- related social ideas."

Here is a list of some of the ideas obtained when I searched pages from UnLtd Ideas Bank for poverty:
