Description:
Social adVentures is an NHS 'spin out' delivering inspirational services to help support people to lead healthier and happier lives. Social adVentures delivers a number of public health, mental health and learning difficulties services alongside social businesses such as garden centres, children's day nursery's and community cafe's.
Your business model:
We ‘spun out of NHS Salford’ to become one of the country’s first public service mutuals in 2011. Since then we have increased our turnover by four times, increased employee numbers from ten to 40 and we now offer three times as many services to over 1000 local members. We are pioneering change every day. A social organisation, employee owned and led by business minded entrepreneurs, we are active in constantly improving the way in which public services are delivered. We recognise the difficulties and changes that commissioners are facing and we are pioneering new ways to address this that both meets budgetary constraints and improves the lives of the people we work with.
