Social Firms UK

A Manual To Externalising Social Firm Activity is now available on the Social Firms UK website Resource Centre. The manual was produced in 2007 as part of a Visage EQUAL project and follows research into the progress of the proposed externalisation of Newco Products from the London Borough of Newham. The guide aims to help organisations across the social enterprise sector to think about new and innovative ways of creating employment opportunities for disadvantaged people. It also explores some of the steps and actions involved in 'externalising' their existing services. Sections include: legal frameworks, the transfer process, personnel, finance and quality assurance.
