About Us

Why Are We A Social Enterprise?

What do we mean by 'Social Enterprise'

As part of the TREES Group and supported by a professional, unpaid, non-executive board, Newlife is a social enterprise - a business with social objectives and our profits are reinvested into our business and the community.

Innovative, highly responsive to customers and with the freedom of the private sector, social enterprises are driven by a commitment to public benefit. For us, that means bringing excluded groups into the labour market, raising skill levels, increasing employment prospects and much more besides - a much more fulfilling way to do business for everyone involved.


"Social enterprises are delivering high quality, lower cost products and services. At the same time, they create real opportunities for the people working in them and the communities that they serve."

Tony Blair, Prime Minister


How Do We Work?

How do we work?

Our clients rely on us for high quality service delivery and many also choose us to help them achieve social goals, often in deprived neighbourhoods - an area in which our experience is probably unparalleled.

That includes:

  • creating jobs, training and work experience
  • catalysing community enterprise
  • maximising inward investment
  • engaging young people
  • transforming the living environment

We develop bespoke, imaginative responses to local needs - that really work and we're equally committed to partnering, equality of opportunity, safe working practices, and limiting our impact on the environment.
