Activites Sponsors

In pursuing our mission, we are active in key areas.
  1. Connecting and informing social entrepreneurs
     
    • Our working assumption is that there are in Scotland around 3,000 social enterprises and a wide range of social entrepreneurs across all sectors. We continually devise new ways of finding and connecting more people.
    • Circulation of our weekly Bulletin runs at some 3,400 recipients; we estimate a long-term potential in the order of 4,000. We continue to add content to our web-site to make it a valuable tool for social entrepreneurs.

  2. Facilitating Networks
     
    • We continue to encourage and facilitate meetings of social entrepreneurs around the country – with particular focus on the support of Local Social Enterprise Networks (LSENs)
    • Through our bulletin and other activities we encourage social entrepreneurs to support each other by working together and sharing knowledge and expertise, for mutual benefit.

  3. Developing the Sector
     
    • In response to dialogue with our network, we work with others to incubate and spin out new services – as with Scotland unLtd, DTA Scotland, the Social Enterprise Academy and First Port.
    • We seek to influence national and regional policies for social entrepreneurs and their work through participation in relevant events and Scottish Executive working groups.
    • We seek to raise awareness of the contribution of social enterprise to economic activity, social inclusion and general social well-being through public speaking and publications.
