Delivery Approach
The project is mainly focused on the social care and social firm sectors in Wales and is co-ordinated by Social Firms Wales. The DTA (Wales) and Wales Co-operative Centre are supporting partners in the Wales SEP project. The SEP Wales project is addressing the gap in the Wales wide social economy EQUAL project, which does not include social firms.
