Lets the Shaftesbury Partnership explain ...
There are two main types of social entrepreneur (though on rare occasions both types can appear in one person): community social entrepreneurs and system social entrepreneurs. Community social entrepreneurs are locally based, working at grass-roots level. System social entrepreneurs have both the skills and the inclination to grow initiatives to national size, affecting the entire system. System social entrepreneurship tends to take a strategic top-down approach working on issues that governments and the public see as some of the most intractable and challenging, but by working with community entrepreneurs on a grass-roots level it hopes to make real impact as well on the ground reaching parts that governments and other traditional agencies find harder to reach.
