As an employment and business model, we know that Social Firms work. Progress, however, has been slow and challenging.

Social Firms Scotland uses its resources to maximise the growth the Social Firm sector by supporting key strategic projects including the following:

• Business Acquisition
• Using Social Clauses in Procurement
• Quality & Impact (coming soon)
