What is the Partnership

This strategy for the Partnership was developed by the Cumbria Social Enterprise Steering Group, a partnership of Cumbrian social enterprises, development trusts, support agencies, local government, urban and rural regeneration companies to other stakeholders. The strategy is aimed at growing and strengthening a dynamic and sustainable social enterprise sector and to help to create an inclusive and growing Cumbrian economy.

 

The Action Plan was developed over an eighteen month period by the Cumbria Social Enterprise Partnership and sets out to co-ordinate the efforts of all partners in Cumbria supporting Social enterprises and to allocate the available resources to maximum effect. The implementation was managed by the Cumbria Social Enterprise Steering Group, with the North Pennines Heritage Trust initially acting as the accountable body, with Cumbria County Council taking over this role in 2008.
