Enactus

Enactus St. Andrews operates under Enactus UK, a global organisation that brings together students and business leaders to create and implement sustainable social enterprises. We currently run 4 social enterprises (and are always open to ideas for additional projects): 

1. DROP: DROP is a project which sends packages to South Sudan to help mothers in giving birth, both physically and psychologically. The project i a great opportunity for students to have a first-hand impact and learn new business skills - and even creative skills!
2. Green Start: The Green Start project is a local glass recycling service. Our purpose is to improve the local attitude towards recycling in our community and be an inclusive employer as well as a practical service provider. We employ vulnerable members of our community to help us recycle and upcycle glass waste.
3. St. Andrews Wise Community: St. Andrews Wise Community is a social enterprise in its early development stages. We have identified loneliness as a severe social problem in St. Andrews and focus on helping the elderly population via social entrepreneurship. We plan to interview, video, and share elderly people’s skills online permeating multiple benefits for individuals and the community at large.
4. The Commercial Projects: This projects is in charge of fundraising for all our other initiatives. This is a great opportunity for you to explore how to make a business model more efficient and how to make money in St. Andrews. You will also have the opportunity to be advised by professional consultants from consultancies like EY and try out your business building skills!
