Economy Minister Dr @CArchibald_SF has addressed @devtrustsni’s conference in Belfast on the role of women in the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector. The Minister said: “In the social enterprise sector, 43% of businesses are female-led. Their leadership and commitment are vital to the success of the sector, which plays a central role in delivering my economic vision. “Through Community Wealth Building, and with the help of Development Trusts NI, we are creating good jobs and driving regional balance – ensuring that economic prosperity is shared fairly and rooted in local communities. “I look forward to further engagement with the sector as we work together to build a stronger, more inclusive economy for all."
