JOBS, ENTERPRISE ANDTHE SOCIAL ECONOMYThis publication provides a snapshot ofhow European-funded projects havehelped over 1,700 social enterprisesflourish and create jobs and enterprisein local communities across Wales.Through these projects, a mix of grants,loans and professional business supporthas helped to create long-termregeneration, often in our mostdisadvantaged communities, whileovercoming barriers to participation inlocal economies.Social enterprise is not just valuable ineconomic terms. The sector is playingan important role in tackling poverty,addressing inequalities and creating amore balanced economy.Research published by Social EnterpriseUK in 2013 produced the followingstatistics:• Social enterprises are heavilyconcentrated in the most deprivedcommunities – 38 per cent work inthe most deprived 20 per cent ofcommunities in the UK, compared to12 per cent of traditional SMEs• Social enterprises are strong onproduct and service innovation –56 per cent have developed a newproduct or service in the last 12months, compared with 43 per centof SMEs• Social enterprises are more likely tobe led by women – 38 per cent havea female leader, compared with 19per cent of SMEs and 3 per cent ofFTSE 100 companies, while 91 percent of social enterprises have at leastone woman on their leadership team• Social enterprises are more likely tobe led by people from black, Asianand minority ethnic communities(BAME) – 28 per cent of socialenterprise leadership teams haveBAME directors, compared to 11 percent of SMEsBetween 2008 and 2014, Europeanfundedprojects helped create almost200 new enterprises in Wales, andthrough the projects nearly 400 newjobs have been created and hundredsmore safeguarded.The projects have offered a collaborativepathway of support which has enabledgrassroots ideas to develop into newenterprises and new income streams toevolve out of established organisations.We’ve seen an initiative at Rhyl Markethelp social entrepreneurs and communityorganisations raise their profile anddevelop another income stream. FormerRemploy workers have set up a socialenterprise that is providing employmentfor ex-employees and people withdisabilities. And a new digital cinemahas been developed in rural West Walesat Theatr Mwldan.04

The social economy in Wales consists of competitive,job-intensive businesses through to communitybasedenterprises that design and deliver servicesthat respond directly to local needs.We know that social enterprises are emerging inareas of market failure and in response to locallyidentified needs. This is particularly the case inrural areas that are disadvantaged by marginaltrading conditions and gaps in private sectorprovision.In total, £13 million has been invested in the socialenterprise sector between 2008 and 2014 throughthe organisations featured in this publication.This funding has not only unlocked enterprise andcreated jobs, but has been invested in infrastructureand sustainable legacies for organisations whichis allowing public services to be protected andenhanced, and existing jobs to be safeguarded.It’s also important to recognise that through localservices and community-centred opportunities,the social enterprise sector in Wales is making animportant contribution to Government agendas intackling poverty, health, regeneration, and publicservice reform.This publication showcases projects supported bythe Welsh European Funding Office throughConvergence ERDF Priority 5, Theme 2:Community Economic Development.The aim of the projects has been to supportsustainable long-term regeneration in Wales’ mostdisadvantaged communities and to overcomebarriers to participation in local economies.The mix of support for the social enterprise sectorin Wales has been mostly financed through theEuropean Regional Development Fund. From theexperience of delivering these programmesduring recent years, we believe that future socialenterprise support in Wales needs to:Be linked tosocial investmentproviders toconnect businessplans withfinanceBe deliveredthrough a supportinfrastructure whichis connected to thesocial enterprisesectorBe joined-up,accessible andthird-sectorfriendlyAim tomake organisationsinvestment-ready throughthe availability of supportand social investment – asthis is the most sustainableand value-driven method ofsupporting the growth ofsocial enterprisesInclude a mixof information,advice and guidancefrom start-up and earlystageformation throughto large-scale growthinitiatives and access togrant aid andinvestmentThis publication provides an insight into the socialeconomy and the value of the social enterprisesector in Wales.Enjoy reading some great stories.05

GREENCAPSOUTH EAST WALESCOMMUNITY ECONOMICDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMEA social enterprise born, out of thedemise of Remploy in South Wales isproviding employment for ex-workersand people with disabilities afterreceiving support to get off the groundfrom the South East Wales CommunityEconomic Development programme.Darren Pole, Director at Greencap, said:‘I could see that plans for the enterprisewere under-financed so I initiallyapproached the bank and was flatlyrefused any money whatsoever.‘The finance we received from the SouthEast Wales Community EconomicDevelopment programme and WCVA’sCommunities Investment Fund hasallowed us to purchase capital equipmentand provided the working capital weneed to run this business. It’s been crucial.08Photo opposite:An employee atwork withGreencapFormer Remploy Team Leader, SteveWatts, founded the Greencap socialenterprise in 2012 aiming to fill the voidleft by Remploy and capture a share ofthe market in refurbishment and reupholstery.After approaching his local South EastWales Community EconomicDevelopment team and also workingwith the Wales Co-operative Centre andWCVA, Greencap was established aftersuccessfully securing start-up fundingfrom the SEWCED programme.After a year of trading, Greencap hasadded three new members of staff toits team and secured contracts withcommercial organisations includingStagecoach, 118, PHS Greenleaf andNemo Finance amongst others.‘Without this support, we simply couldnot have got off the ground.‘We aren’t winning business solely onthe back of being a social enterprise.The reality is it’s down to price and thequality of your product whether youcan compete with businesses in themarket – and I’m happy to say that we are.’Steve Watts added: ‘The impact whenRemploy closed was devastating for meand everyone who worked there. A lotof people thought that they wereworthless. I believed they had the skillsand there was a market to utilise theseskills. And it means a lot to people toknow that you are worth something.‘Greencap’s been going for over 12months now and I’m really proud of theprogress we’ve made. We’re going todo our best to keep this growing so thatwe can keep employing more disabledpeople in the future.’

COMMUNITYWELLBEING COACHESCOMMUNITIES INVESTMENT FUNDA start-up enterprise has launched theconcept of community wellbeingcoaching in Wales after receivinginvestment through WCVA’sCommunities Investment Fund.‘We always employ people from abackground of unemployment. Manyorganisations wouldn’t employ thepeople we employ – but they actuallymake fantastic coaches. People respondto them because they come from thesame communities and have facedsimilar challenges.’Photo opposite:Lorna Alcockand Maria RyanEstablished as a community interestcompany in 2011 by Lorna Alcock andMaria Ryan, Community WellbeingCoaches has since generated anestimated £1 million in savings for thepublic purse and created 20 new jobs.Acting as a link between communitiesand professionals, the concept seescoaches trained to turn around the livesof people who are vulnerable or facespecific challenges.With backgrounds in employability andhealth, Lorna and Maria had researchedhow the concept was being used in thehealth service in England and funded bythe NHS before launching it as acommunity-led model in Wales.Lorna said: ‘Community coaching isabout recruiting and training peoplewho have experienced the same issuesas the people they’ll be supporting.A range of statutory agencies areemploying the coaches to deliverresults in employment, health andhousing tenancy resolution. Over 500people have been supported to date.‘The Welsh Government puts the cost ofa single housing tenancy eviction at£7,500 so our coaches are generatinghuge savings for authorities as well ashelping people put their lives back ontrack’, said Maria.‘The great thing about the CommunitiesInvestment Fund was its flexibility,which is vital to start-up organisations.The bank options were insurmountableto us so without access to financethrough WCVA, we wouldn’t have beenable to get off the ground.’The Communities InvestmentFund is managed by WCVA andis investing £20,000 to £250,000in third sector enterprise in theConvergence areas of Wales.14
