One of the main difficulties regarding social innovation is the scaling-up of initiatives, their survival in time and space, and the impact they can create in society. This observatory intends to contribute to highlighting social innovation initiatives and organisations. In this section you can find a map that identifies social economy and social innovation organisations in the Atlantic Area, such as: social enterprises, cooperatives, charities, public agencies, among other types of entities. For each actor basic information and main competencies will be shared.

With every bag you buy, a pack-away travel bag goes to a child in care. We will give 100,000 pack away travel bags to children in care across the UK and Ireland by April 2024"
