The Social Enterprise Framework was developed by a partnership of Voluntary Action North Lanarkshire, Social Enterprise Scotland, Inspirent, Business Gateway Lanarkshire, North Lanarkshire Social Enterprise Network and North Lanarkshire Council community planning.

There is a range of support available from the partner organisations, or businesses can contact the enterprise development team for information.

North Lanarkshire Social Enterprise Framework

We have published the Framework to support the recovery and growth of the Social Enterprise sector in North Lanarkshire. The Social Enterprise Framework and Action Plan 2021 - 2026 sets out how we will work with partners to help the sector become more enterprising, more connected and more sustainable. Our social enterprises and community groups provide an essential safety net and must continue to do so.

The Enterprise Development Team can provide support to new and existing businesses based in North Lanarkshire.
