Crazy Golf
challenge
A multi-million pound Lottery funded programme called ‘Fulfilling Lives’ needed a sustainable legacy as the project drew to a close. (Many projects do wonderful work in the community and when the funding runs out the work finishes and the problem remains until the next round of funding come in and the cycle continues).
solution
Bring in Social Enterprise Solutions to come up with some socially innovative ideas that could become sustainable. In 9 months a social enterprise was created and a licensing arrangement with Blackpool Council was drawn up to restore and operate a redundant crazy golf course.
results
The Crazy Golf course was restored by the homeless/street community to its former 1960’s glory. It now operates at a sustainable enterprise.

Social Enterprise Solutions has been a leading member of our national infrastructure support organisation since 2008 and they have directly contributed to the development of SEUK in a number of ways; director, Clive Hirst, continues to provide a valuable contribution in his voluntary capacity as a council member. In addition, SES has developed a Social Enterprise Town concept collaboratively with Liverpool Hope University, ourselves and other key partners.
We would consider SES as responsible thought leaders in the development of the social enterprise sector
