In 2022-23 New Prosperity Devon undertook part of the Support Social Enterprise programme co-ordinated by the School for Social Entrepreneurs, Dartington. We held seminars and webinars for public sector bodies who wanted to get more social and environmental value from their procurement spending, and for social economy organisations (social enterprises, charities and co-ops), mission-led organisations, who are able to provide that extra value when they sell goods and services to councils and the public sector.
What did we learn about the obstacles and the huge potential of these social suppliers? Read our report ‘Social Value through Public Sector Spending – the Role of the Social Economy’ – and share it with your councillors and MP’s!
