Reforming capitalism to ensure that our economy works for all is at the top of the political agenda, and we believe the social enterprise sector holds the key.
Our new methodology suggests that if large social enterprise are included, such as building societies and many co-operatives, a more realistic and up-to-date estimate of the scale of the sector would be at least 5% greater in number.
The report proposes six ways in which Government and Parliament can support and accelerate the growth of social enterprise and a more inclusive economy: Public services: ensure better value for money for taxpayers through more public services delivered with values at their heart, where Government recognises that wider social benefits matter and mutuals, charities, co-operatives and social enterprises play a much greater role in delivery.
Compared to UK businesses overall, more social enterprises generated a profit over the last year.
