Social Firms
Sharing knowledge and experience and learning from others can help you to understand the Social Firm model and develop your own practice.  A series of case studies looking at good practice in setting up and running Social Firms has been developed.  These case studies provide a snapshot of how particular Social Firms meet their business and social aims, with contact details if you would like to find out more.

AskClyde - research & consultancy (Glasgow)		Green Tracks - landscaping/maintenance/ conservation (Aberdeen)

Individuals
To complement the Social Firm case studies, individual stories of peoples’ journey into work have been gathered.  These look at the benefits of how being a trainee has helped someone to move into employment and how someone who has experienced a mental health problem has been supported in the workplace.
