Gofal Enterprises is our business development and trading arm. We established this with the aim of setting up a portfolio of profitable social businesses in Wales.

We currently run two social businesses, Not Just Nuts and PS Services. We are also working on establishing a third social business.

The main objectives of our social businesses are:

• to make a profit that will either be returned to the charity or re-invested in the business
• Increase the profile and reputation of Gofal
• In the long term, to develop suitable social businesses into social firms
