Role of local authorities
Local authorities interested in engaging in the London social enterprise movement will appoint a representative to LA Connects, to discuss ongoing and future work, share lessons learned, and receive support from the partnership. In the past the offices within local authorities that are most often engaged in social enterprise development have been in regeneration, economic development and policy, depending on how each council is structured. We at SEL will work to create a network of contacts and expertise, and we will promote an open, transparent and supportive environment.
