Case studies

When describing social enterprise many like to be shown examples of what this may include and in looking for well known examples the Fifteen Foundation  - the initiative developed by Jamie Oliver is often cited given the publicity this initiative received. It is also important however to see more local organisations, run by ordinary people and covering a diverse range of activity. 

The link below takes you to a recent Communities Scotland publication which draws together a number of case studies of social enterprise delivering public services in Scotland.
