The Economic Development Department of a county council wanted a better understanding of Social Enterprises and the contribution they make to the county's economy. It also wanted to establish how well business support organisations in the county were meeting the needs of Social Enterprises.
Paper Contracts was asked to rebuild and manage a team that was responsible for an important and highly visible part of the business.
We needed to ensure the service was maintained, as well as improved, through the transition.
Using a combination of desk and field research we built a long list of organisations that could be classed as Social Enterprises.
Working closely with our client we developed a survey that made it easy for respondents to provide the data we needed. We also made clear it how completing the survey would benefit them long-term.
Email, telephone and paper-based surveys ensured all those canvassed were given maximum opportunity to reply.
Our approach led to a high response rate.
The results of the survey were used to compile a report that indicated the size,
make-up and value of the sector to the economy of the region.
