”Important to recognise differences” within third sector organisations
It is important to note the differences between social enterprises and charities, it has been reported.
Nick Hurd, spokesperson for charities, social enterprise and volunteering for the Conservative party, recently stated that there are "very strong" differences between those working for each third sector organisation.
Continuing, Mr Hurd claimed that grouping social enterprise and charities as the same thing is not always of benefit to such institutions.
His comments came at Social Enterprise London’’s autumn conference, where he also reported that social enterprises should work closely with local councils in order to deliver public services.
Allison Ogden-Newton, chief executive of Social Enterprise London, added that if local authorities "really grasped the opportunities" of working with social enterprises than such organisations "could make an even greater impact".
The news might be of interest to third sector bodies looking to improve their skills framework.
At the beginning of this month Stephen Bubb, chief executive of the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations, reported that an increasing number of charities are to work closely with senior civil servants.
