Cultural Shift South East sought to gain the engagement of key policy making organisations to promote understanding of the role and potential of social enterprise to the achievement of their sector aims and to gain engagement in an action research process that will assess the inherent Cultural barriers to further facilitation. This took place through the formation of sector specific development groups including; Culture, Housing, Rural Service delivery, Regeneration, Environment and Health and Social Care.
These 6 sector networks supported the development of social enterprise and developed individual sector policy mainstreaming strategies for National and regional dissemination.
Creating networks allowed the partnership to share information and good practice. As a result of the work conducted by the sector development groups, the following 6 policy guides have been published (please see below).

Given that, by definition, every social enterprise encompasses environmental objectives as part of its 'triple bottom line' - alongside its social and economic goals - what does being in the Environment Sector actually mean? Many organisations provide environmental products and services, but not as their sole or primary business. For the purposes of this sector development work, we are refering to organisations for whom environmental outcomes are the core of their business. Within what is a very broad business sector, the Development Group focussed on opportunities and barriers relating to four distinguishable sub -sectors: For further information, please contact Robin Jones: Robin.Jones@groundwork.org.uk
Rural: The Plunkett Foundation worked with SEEDA to develop a Social Enterprise policy pack, which includes a case studies on five key rural themes: Rural Social Enterprise: A guide to the role and potential of Rural Social Enterprise in the South East England. Health and Social Care: Social Enterprise: A guide to the role and potential in the Health and Social Care Markets in the South East of England.
Regeneration: Social Enterprise and Regeneration: A guide to the role and potential of Community Asset Models in the South East of England. This document is a social enterprise 'role and potential' guide, with the intention of creating useful, understandable and accessible tools for policy makers and influencers (at the sub-regional, regional and national level), local authority officers, social enterprise infrastructure bodies, and individual enterprises and entrepreneurs.
