The Social Enterprise Business Support Programme
Social Enterprises, like any businesses, need the right support. However, as social enterprises place a social or environmental mission at the heart of their work, mainstream business support cannot always meet their specific needs.
But we know that expertise exists within the sector, so we need to capture and transform this into accessible business support for all.
The Social Enterprise Business Support Programme comprises the work managed by the Social Enterprise Coalition in two existing business support projects: the Capacitybuilders funded National Knowledge Management Programme and the Big Lottery (BASIS) funded Investing in Social Enterprise Expansion (I-SEE) Programme.
The component programmes still exist singularly, but as there is significant potential for shared learning across the two, the Social Enterprise Coalition has taken the move to refer to them collectively as the Social Enterprise Business Support Programme and will actively promote the sharing of information across the two to create synergy.
The overarching aim of the Social Enterprise Business Support Programme is to work in partnership for the creation of effective sector products, services and knowledge-sharing networks, which stimulate and encourage the growth, development and sustainability of social enterprises in England. This will involve the Social Enterprise Coalition and social enterprise support bodies working closely to improve the level of, and access to, business support services in the sector.
