Social Enterprise Institute
Sponsors
The 'SCA Institute for Social Enterprise - ideas and entrepreneurship in the South' is the latest venture for the SCA Group. This new Institute aims to develop social, economic, community based and spiritual solutions for the delivery of health and social care.
There are increasing opportunities and challenges for social enterprises in these areas.
The Institute will assist social enterprises by developing their business and management skills, their approaches to collaborative working and their understanding of the market sectors and Government policy.
The SCA Group has always responded well to this sort of challenge, and now is no exception. Based on the extraordinary breadth of SCA Group's work as a leading provider of health and social care in the South in the form of a social enterprise, SCA is well placed to develop the Institute. It will offer positive ways forward for the sector and contribute to the emerging debate on social enterprise and mutuality.
The Institute offers the following solutions to the health and social care sector:
- Consultancy
- Action research
- Consultations and seminars
- 'Intern' scheme offering apprenticeships in social enterprise
- Strong international links
Hempsons are leading lawyers in the health, social enterprise and third sectors and acted for SCA on its innovative acquisition of Fenwick2, formerly a disused hospital, from which it now provides a wide range of community care services.
This website will provide access to the most up to date news from the Institute. Please see our Events listing for news on upcoming events that you can be involved in.
