With the introduction of The Localism Act an opportunity for community and social enterprises to compete and deliver certain services came about .. In the pasr many organisations charities and groups were set up because services failed to deliver adequate services to communities . These ran like medium businesses which sole purpose was to benefit communities . Now some time later services are becoming more and more compounded . Social enterprises have emerged to deliver a different kind of community service . Community Rights , Localism has opened the doors to a different kind of business . LOCALITY offers advice and support to any group or community that believes it would like to challenge service provision and or set up an enterprise to create a better provision .
First steps get together with like minded people to decide what the IDEA is and if it is something you can take on board . There are many different types of enterprise with a wide range of sizes from employing to people to large organisations . First port of call is research and getting some advice ….LOCALITY have business support officers , regional meetings and can sign post for local support .
