A Scottish family of hotels is supporting a social enterprise stationary supplier which invests its profits in vital initiatives across the globe.

Examples of WildHearts Group’s social initiatives include its Social Mobility Strategy which aims to address social mobility in the UK through its enterprise programme., Micro-Tyco, which focuses on free entrepreneurial training, and events for young people from poorer backgrounds, helping them into employment.
The StartHer Strategy empowers women and girls across the developing world through three initiatives, enterprise, education, and health, all aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
