SCA Group is a leading social enterprise in the south which has pioneered several innovations in health and social care. Most notably it set up a training centre for social care staff and led on improving training for social care staff at a time when there was very little provision in the south. SCA Group also set up NHS dentistry clinics on a social enterprise model to meet a severe local shortage of NHS dentistry in the south, at a time when no other organisation was doing so. Its Institute of Social Enterprise provides consultancy to other social enterprises as well as research on social enterprises. Social enterprises are currently of topical interest in the current economic climate and in view of the coalition government's Big Society idea. The Reverend Brian Strevens, who set up SCA Group on a not-for-profit basis, has been an advisor to the Government on social enterprises and has produced a discussion booklet, The Big Society in the South, in July 2010, on the role that social enterprises and voluntary groups can play in providing community services. SCA Group has pioneered several other innovative projects, including a multi-agency early assessment project for dementia sufferers and respite day care for dementia sufferers and their carers.
