Progress through partnerships
At Inspire2Enterprise, we are committed to raising the profile of social enterprises with corporate organisations. This is part of our vision to ensure social enterprises are considered for contracts and funding opportunities by preparing them to deliver tangible value.
We can work in partnership with you and social enterprises, to develop collaborations that maximise the expertise of social enterprises and offer social value to corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes. For example, if a corporation is interested in tackling unemployment levels in the communities they serve, we could facilitate partnerships with a social enterprise that teaches young adults and ex-offenders life, communication and business skills.
The benefits of partnership working
Our links with the University of Northampton mean we have access to a wealth of research expertise. This means we only facilitate partnerships that we can prove have the potential to offer real value. By sharing our knowledge and innovative thinking with corporates, we can create strong business cases for CSR teams and social enterprises and put social impact measurement targets in place.
Our strategic partnership working means we can also help to:
- Improve visibility to supply chains
- Make social enterprises more financially robust and attractive to corporates
- Develop management and strategic competences
- Increase the agility of social enterprises to respond to market opportunities
- Help social enterprises to bid for, win and deliver contracts in the corporate sector
- Share best practice
