Social Enterprise UK, the representative body of social enterprises, this week released results of a poll which shows that many British people think that businesses such as football clubs, utility companies and banks are making unfair profits at the expense of consumers.Peter Holbrook, the chief executive of Social Enterprise UK, said: “The findings of this poll tell us that in some industries British consumers are really losing out and it’s a sign that capitalism has gone wrong. The public are getting a rough deal because some businesses have an insatiable appetite for profit.”

Social Saturday, now in its third year, is an annual campaign to inspire people to buy from social enterprises. Holbrook added: “There are social enterprise alternatives in almost every industry that consumers can buy from. These businesses are free of the shackles of profit-hungry shareholders, which mean that they’re free to put customers and communities first.”
