Birdsong: Building A Fashion Social Enterprise

This is a 33 minute Interview with the two founders of social enterprise and womenswear brand Birdsong. When Sophie Slater co-founded Birdsong, she came from a background of activism, and having worked on the shop floor of American Apparel, she realised first-hand what she didn’t want the brands she shopped from to look like.

Is a social enterprise business model the way to go to realise your dreams, by making profit to sustain your business and support marginalised communities? Step in to this interview to get inspired on the practical action required.
