Today I was meant to be at The Business Show in London along with 25,000 other people! I woke up this morning and my body told me ‘nope’. I am very very extroverted but going to so many events and not having a proper day off in a month really takes a toll and I am exhausted. So scrolling on LinkedIn in my London hotel room and found out the wonderful Maya Vertigans from Planner Bee VA Services has included us in their small business directory 💖💖 I feel I owe it to Social Stories Club to get the word out about our sustainable hampers every single day so on the day I just ran out of steam I am so grateful someone else went out their way to support us - thank you! ❤️ Check out Planner Bee VA Services for amazing VA assistant to free up time in your business - maya is so on the ball and has wonderful values 🎉 Check out Social Stories Club for social enterprise gift boxes 🎉

We met 10 years ago, started dating seven years ago, and started Social Stories Club six years, 11 months and three weeks ago 😁 We realized a lot of people still don't know Aayush Goyal and I have been a couple all this time. It must have been a really difficult decision to decide to start a business with your partner - hahah no! I just blurted it out without thinking. We were sitting in his dingy student kitchen with a mouthful of brownie I asked him to join me and we have never looked back. At that point, I had the vision for Social Stories Club but not much more... maybe a really rubbish logo I had hand painted and lots of market research that I did all wrong 😂 (I now teach market research to make sure others don't follow in my footsteps!). We lucked out that Aayush and I worked so incredibly well together, we both work so incredibly hard and have complementing skills. I can honestly say it has been the journey of a lifetime. The experiences of running market stalls, going to tender, employing a team, winning big funding competitions, speaking on stage to huge audiences, having a nation wide TV ad, introducing over 1 million people to social enterprise - makes me feel like I am in a movie every day. But there is the slightly less glamourous side to it. We had to move into an 11 bed flat share in the dodgy end of Glasgow next to an abattoir with some questionable flatmates. I wanted to write a comedy skit about our experiences but was told it was too dark 😁. It was a terrible decision in hindsight but we couldn't afford Edinburgh. After a dramatic incident where our lives were in danger we had to leave our home pretty quickly and with our tails between our legs we came back to Edinburgh and got jobs. We both worked as freelance cleaners, running all over the city from flat to flat because we weren't paid for the time in-between cleans. We would listen to podcasts on business while we cleaned and spent the evenings implementing the learnings, determined that we would make Social Stories Club work. We never ever gave up on that vision which is crazy in hindsight considering the amount of failure we faced. We were unsuccessful at the start far far more than we were successful. So here we are in our warehouse, after seven years of memories. Over the last week we have been training staff and the whole year we have geared up to these next seven weeks. We will be pulling all nighters, travelling to events across the country, and doing whatever it takes to get the word out- "buy social enterprise hampers this Christmas". We very much rely on our network to spread the word. Our hampers: -Tell stories from social enterprises -Are packed by individuals with barriers to employment -Use sustainable packaging and carbon neutral delivery We are so proud of what we have created 😍 Please share this post, tag someone who loves thoughtful gifts, or even trying one of our hampers for yourself. Thank you for being part of our story 💕

"Karis the first minister is speaking at our conference- we would like you to open with a ted style talk on storytelling. Is this something you can do?" "Yes, yes I can!" 🎉 My inbox is full (crazy!) with the kindest most wonderful messages from those who saw my talk on storytelling at the Social Enterprise Summit by Social Enterprise Scotland on Thursday... wow! Thank you so much! It is amazing to see storytelling engage and resonate so much with other social enterprises who are keen to try out some of the strategies that have helped us to turbocharge our growth 💪🏻 Yes, it is a tough time for the sector right now and we need to step up and support each other during this time. Share the stories of wonderful social enterprises and make important introductions and connections 🎉 Christmas is coming up and I am so grateful with how many people in the room came up to me saying they are going to be buying a social enterprise hamper from Social Stories Club this Christmas- Thank you thank you thank you 😍 It was also great to talk once again one to one with first minister John Swinney. I didn't miss the opportunity to bring up Young Enterprise Scotland 's funding and the importance of enterprise education to inspire the next generation of social entrepreneurs. It was wonderful to have this opportunity with Celia Hodson OBE who has inspired and guided me for the last six years, as well as Gael Drummond who are doing amazing work at Firstport and Cat Divers . Thank you to the amazing team at Social Enterprise Scotland who pulled off an amazing six events in three days! Jayne Chappell Kim Wallace Jamie Lawson Janice Nicol Chris Martin Hannah Symons Nia Evans and others! The very very talented Eddy Phillips did the most amazing conference drawing documenting all the different talks and perfectly captured my sparkly trousers - get in contact with Eddy if you would love this for your event💕 thank you Eddy! It was great to catch up with social enterprise champions Bayile Adeoti FRSA Renae Bell and Kieran Daly (He/Him) 🎉🎉🎉 We are so lucky to have such wonderful supportive people in our sector 💕 Thank you to David Tan and Samurath Jabir who sent me the below photos!

😊 I received a lovely surprise gift yesterday. It was a sustainable gift hamper full of tasty food products, each with a story about the positive social impact created. 💚 It is really nice to receive something you are not expecting, but what was extra special was the concept behind the hamper which was created by a Social Enterprise in Scotland. 🙏 Through this gift, I discovered Social Stories Club who create sustainable gifts that support the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. ✨ Not only is there a positive social impact story behind each item in the hamper, the company also aim to provide 100,000 hours of employment to individuals with barriers to employment in Scotland who will pack the sustainable gift hampers as well as be provided with training opportunities. 🖌️ I like the packaging design too, featuring illustrations of people taking action for the SDGs. ➡️ I really enjoyed this gift and believe in supporting social enterprises with positive stories like Social Stories Club , so if you are looking for a corporate (or personal) gift with positive impact, I highly recommend looking at their hampers. #sustainableproducts #socialenterprise #positiveimpact _____________________ 👋 Hi, I'm Alice.
