Through our work in developing and supporting Social Firms since the 1990s we have seen the importance and impact of employment in a Social Firm for severely disadvantaged people who want to work but have never been given the chance.
As we look to the future our focus is now on being a champion and supporter for others who share our passion and want to put this into practice. We’ll be using our networks and know-how to build support for and nurture new Social Firms in Sheffield and working collaboratively with a wider group of stakeholders to make this happen. These include social enterprises and other social sector organisations, public bodies and educational establishments, families and individuals.
