Effective Change
A community that opens conversations with founders of socially conscious organisations
When it comes to social impact, each and every one of us has a unique definition. Yet we can all agree that it must benefit society at large. Here, we are joined by Andrew Farquharson from ‘BetterMe’ - trading as ‘The Weel Consultancy, CIC’, a social enterprise bringing accessibility to emotional and mental wellbeing.
BetterMe produces free or affordable courses on emotional intelligence in the workplace for individuals who would otherwise not have access to it. These courses benefit individuals because as Andrew explains it “When confidence is boosted, anxiety, worry and fear are diminished”. BetterMe is a prevention system and is in place to ensure individuals have the tools to deal with stress, anxiety and motivational problems at work and control their emotions in life. This leads to a knock on effect where everyone feels better, is good to one another and productivity increases.
In this episode, we explore BetterMe’s ethos and its underpinning foundation of social impact. Andrew also gives tips to upcoming social entrepreneurs such as registering your business name as soon as you come up with it. We discuss what is indicative of success in social enterprise and profitability. He also highlights the benefits of being passionate about a social enterprise.
If you have an interest in, or better yet are passionate about a social issue, this episode will not only teach you about the journey at BetterMe, it will also offer guidance on how to approach any ideas you may have.
