Yes, today is Social Enterprise Day, in the UK as declared by the Cabinet Office of the Third Sector.

The following definitions are from wikipedia:
Social Enterprise: Social enterprises are social mission driven organizations which trade in goods or services for a social purpose. The need to deliver on financial, social and environmental performance targets is often referred to as having a triple bottom line.
Cabinet Office: Social enterprises are social mission driven organizations which trade in goods or services for a social purpose. The need to deliver on financial, social and environmental performance targets is often referred to as having a triple bottom line.
