This report, produced in December 2006, calls for support to grow the Social Firm sector to create more jobs for people who do not get an opportunity to work in mainstream employment. It is hoped that this document will be widely used to influence policy and persuade others to use Social Firms as a solution to the employability needs of disadvantaged people.

Social Firms UK’s response to “Principles for representation: a framework for effective third sector participation in local strategic partnerships” (February 2008)

This discussion paper http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/communities/principlesofrepre... sets out some principles that are aimed at assisting third sector bodies to come together to form networks and act as the collective voice for the sector in a local area. The principles are not intended to be a blueprint, but try to offer a framework which can be adapted according to local circumstances. Social Firms UK’s response explains what Social Firms are and the impact they can have on local social and economic wellbeing. It highlights the need for Local Strategic Partnerships to be aware of the Social Firms in their area.
