Our aims are primarily twofold: one is to continue raising the profile and increase the level of understanding of Social Firms generally; the other is to actively grow the number of Social Firms in this country through the implementation of initiatives and programmes designed to support the start-up and operation of Social Firm businesses. We worked on a franchising and licensing project in 2005 and 2006 called Flagship Firms. We plan to launch an accreditation scheme by the beginning of 2008 which will assist genuine Social Firms to access new business and funding opportunities. We also regularly introduce new tools and resources to help emerging Social Firms and Social Firms manage their own performance better and prove their own value to internal and external stakeholders.
