This report was commissioned by the Cabinet Office as a result of the commitment in the 2006 Social Enterprise Action Plan to identify gaps in social enterprise provision
The research was based primarily on a desk-based review of current provision, supplemented by a limited number of fact-finding discussions with key individuals and organisations. The review identified 79 different social enterprise networks operating across England (see Appendix 1). In particular it has gaps at the local and informal levels. It found that networks exist at this level but many have no internet presence and/ or are not well-known.
