If your organisation or social firm is considering starting a business,
why not benefit from our wide experience of running social firms by joining
us for a study visit? As one of the longest established social enterprises
in Scotland and the UK, Forth Sector has encountered many of the challenges
faced by aspiring and trading social enterprises and is therefore able
to offer a real world insight into the challenges and benefits involved.
Previous study visit clients have included organisations
from Scotland and around the UK as well as visitors from as far afield
as China, Denmark and Japan. Our award winning Guesthouse SMP was successfully
replicated by clients in Poland following study visits and support from
our staff.
Thank you and your team again for the time and energy which you gave so generously to us all. I have returned to Sheffield inspired and encouraged by what I saw at Forth Sector. Your honest and insightful analysis of your journey so far struck a real chord with me and gave me much to think on. You were clearly carving time out of a very busy schedule for us, and I am profoundly grateful to you for doing so."
Graham Duncan, Centre Manager, St. Mary's Church and Community Centre, Sheffield
"Thank you very much for giving your Nottinghamshire

development in Nottinghamshire."
