Social Firms UK

Our role falls into two main areas:

• to continue raising the profile and increase the level of understanding of Social Firms generally
• to actively grow the number of Social Firms in this country through the implementation of initiatives and programmes designed to support the start-up and operation of Social Firm businesses

We have five strategic priorities over the next 5 years:

1) Promote the values and increase the level of understanding around the Social Firm model

Social Firms UK is the national support agency that encourages the development of Social Firms, which are companies set up specifically to create employment opportunities for people severely disadvantaged in the labour market.  It leads the development of the Social Firm sector by promoting and raising the profile of the sector and lobbying on issues that affect the growth of Social Firm businesses.  Social Firms UK continuously develops tools and resources that lead to more successful businesses.
