The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) commissioned a report looking at the size and characteristics of the social enterprise sector based on the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) 2019 Small Business Survey. Middlesex University carried out the research on behalf of DCMS.
It examines the sector and identifies its scale in the UK, utilising a broad DCMS definition which includes both social enterprises within the voluntary and community sector and also social enterprises operating as mission-led or purposeful businesses with private sector legal forms.
Previous reports on Social enterprise market trends have been published for 2012, 2014 and 2017. Note that due to methodological changes the findings from previous reports cannot be directly compared to the 2017 and 2019 report.
