Since its inception in 2011, Just Enterprise has established itself as the largest social enterprise support program in Scotland, making a significant impact on the sector. This comprehensive program offers a wide range of support services tailored to sustain, develop, and grow social enterprises and enterprising charities throughout the country.
With a consortium of twelve partners, Just Enterprise ensures that enterprises of all sizes, whether they are startups or established organisations, receive the assistance they need to thrive.
Recognising the importance of social impact measurement, Just Enterprise places a strong emphasis on quantifying and effectively communicating the difference that organisations make to their stakeholders.
By providing a combination of business support services, start-up programs, e-learning opportunities, workshops, webinars, and leadership development initiatives, Just Enterprise has successfully helped over 8,000 organisations and empowered more than 11,000 individuals.
In 2018, the Scottish Government conducted an independent evaluation of the Just Enterprise program, revealing its tangible impact and success. This comprehensive review provided valuable insights into the program’s effectiveness.
However, Just Enterprise does not rest on its laurels and continues to measure its impact on an ongoing basis, annually communicating its achievements to stakeholders.
Just Enterprise has made a significant and lasting impact on the social enterprise landscape in Scotland. Through its comprehensive support programs, it has empowered thousands of organisations and individuals, enabling them to create positive change and deliver meaningful social impact.
With its ongoing commitment to measuring and communicating its success, as well as its ability to adapt to changing needs, Just Enterprise continues to play a pivotal role in driving the growth and sustainability of the social enterprise sector in Scotland.
