State of the Sector: Covid-19 and Social Enterprise in Scotland. (August 2020)

This report has been prepared by Social Enterprise Scotland to provide an update to aid and inform the Scottish Government in considering next steps regarding recovery from Covid-19.

It builds on research undertaken by the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) at the end of May 2020 where 25,000 registered organisations were surveyed. Over 5,000 replied, of which 774 are social enterprises, choosing a registered charity as their legal structure.

Social Enterprise Scotland have supplemented the OSCR data with intelligence from their Community Interest Company (CIC) members too.

The paper includes a geographical and financial analysis. It also includes sub-sectors (type of organisation), operational information and support and information asked for during the pandemic.
