Being a social enterprise means Halo trades for social purposes. We are a registered charity and ‘not for profit’ organisation, with no shareholders. The money we make is ploughed back into the facilities. This allows us to keep our costs low and offer outstanding value for money. Basically, when our customers spend money with us, we largely reinvest this into Halo services.
