  2. What is a Social Enterprise? • We are an Employee owned Community Interest Company. This means: • We provide NHS Community Health services but are not an NHS organisation – we are free to compete for other contracts and provide other services to the Community • Like other Social Enterprises, we are a business with primarily social purpose, whose surpluses are re-invested in services • We are a limited company but with special restrictions which means that our social purpose will always be central to what we do • Staff own the company –all permanent staff can buy a £1 share which entitles them to become a shareholder and member of the company • The Board of Directors are accountable to members (shareholders) in the same way as all Directors are accountable to shareholders

  3. About our Business…. • We are commissioned by NHS North Somerset, part of the Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire Commissioning (BNSSG Cluster) to provide Community Health Services to the people of North Somerset • Our contract is for 4 years from April 2011 and has a value of 23 million pounds per year • Receiving the full value of our contract is dependent on meeting performance criteria agreed between the head of each service and the Commissioners • We work in partnership with the Local Authority, General Practitioners and Voluntary Organisations to deliver 26 services • We employ approx 550 staff and a further150staff are employed on our bank to cover shifts/short term vacancies
