About Social Firms Wales...

Social Firms Wales envisions a future where inclusive employment is the norm, not the exception. We work to create a Wales in which Social Firms provide sustainable, meaningful work for disabled people and others who face barriers in the labour market. As the leading voice for this model of social enterprise, we champion organisations where commercial success and social purpose work hand in hand.

About Social Firms Wales...

Enterprise...

We help Social Firms build strong, commercially viable business models so they can thrive and deliver long‑term impact.

Employment...

We promote fair, meaningful and inclusive work, with a commitment that at least 30% of employees or trainees in a Social Firm come from disadvantaged groups.

Empowerment...

We create environments where confidence, skills and a sense of belonging can grow—supporting people to reach their full potential.

Working directly with disabled and under-represented entrepreneurs...

Alongside championing Social Firms, we also work directly with disabled and disadvantaged entrepreneurs, offering specialist business advice to help them start and grow their ventures. We collaborate with partner organisations across Wales and support corporate businesses to strengthen their social value and build more inclusive workplaces.

Social Firms Wales is proud to foster a network of enterprising, community‑rooted organisations that are helping to create a more equal, compassionate and economically vibrant Wales.
