Join the Scottish Social Enterprise Coalition
We are an independent, membership-led coalition of the willing. Membership is open to all social enterprises, their networks and intermediaries and their supporters.
Our members and associates are part of a growing network of organisations helping to influence social enterprise policy at both local and national levels. Our range of members and associates is diverse and includes:
- large national umbrella organisations, for example, The Scottish Federation of Housing Associations and Social Firms Scotland,
- social enterprises, large and small, well established and new starters such as Kibble, Forth Sector and Aberdeen Foyer and The Calman Trust
- and local social enterprise networks, banks, individual supporters and more.
Despite their broad range, they share a common purpose: social enterprise is a way of promoting positive social change. Together we work:
- To build the Coalition as a well-managed, membership-led organisation, representing the full range of social enterprise in Scotland.
- To raise the profile of social enterprise as a dynamic business model, championing the values and benefits of social enterprise to a broad range of stakeholders.
- To represent the needs and views of social enterprise to policy and decision-makers in Scotland.
