The charity Health in Mind is bringing an information event on social enterprise projects to Bonnyrigg next week.

A social enterprise is a business whose profits are used to benefit the community and provide opportunities for people to improve their knowledge, skills and confidence.

Schemes can help to improve mental health and wellbeing.
