A West of England Mayoral Combined Authority initiative, Social Economy West will support and grow the social economy in the region, helping organisations to overcome increasing demand amid the cost-of-living crisis.

It will provide charities, third sector organisations, social enterprises, and co-operatives with the resources, expertise and guidance they need to:

  • Explore opportunities for growth
  • Effectively manage increasing demand on services
  • Build economic resilience and enhance environmental sustainability
  • Manage risk more effectively
  • Diversify income streams

The project is delivered in partnership with Business West and expert partners to support the social economy across the region.
