Partnership in public services: an action plan for third sector involvement was launched in 2006 to enable an increase in public service delivery by the third sector. The action plan focussed on 4 areas:
2 years on from its publication, a lot has been achieved. The principles of the action plan are being implemented across government departments and the sector is developing and delivering improved public services.
SCA Group is a social enterprise based in Southampton. They started by delivering a small number of transport and day-care services and have grown hugely in response to local need, winning contracts from local councils.
Their services include high quality, affordable training for carers and through contracts with local PCTs they now also provide dental surgeries.
Through their close links into local needs and local resources they have been able to build a diverse and sustainable organisation.
