Hi °C | Lo °C More than 20 new jobs are to be created with the establishment of three social enterprise businesses.
Accept Care Social Firms Limited in Bangor is to set up two Daisies Cafes in Belfast and Lurgan, creating 11 new jobs, while the 12 remaining positions will be created in a community farm project.
