Social Enterprise - Print Side Up
What’s a social enterprise?
Social enterprises are run like businesses, but all ‘profits’ are redirected back towards the community.
How does Print Side Up work?
Print Side Up is a social enterprise that provides a quality design, creative arts and screen-printing service. Young people disengaged from school or experiencing unemployment are supported to learn essential employability skills through 'real' work experience; while learning skills in retail, screen-printing and small business management.
While working at Print Side Up, young people learn what it’s like to work as part of a team, which will help them do well in other jobs in the future. It’s a creative environment, where everyone’s encouraged to invent new designs and unleash their artist side.
Over time, the young printers can work towards qualifications which will lead them onto a career in screen printing.
Print Side Up specialises in t-shirts, hoodies, bags, tea towels, aprons and more. Custom designs and creative stock items, promotional t-shirts and work uniforms are also available.
