Focus Enterprises and IS3 Training Services

Focus Enterprises is a social enterprise offering a range of personal development, business development and skills development services. Our clients include public sector authorities, small, medium and large companies, charities, community groups, local authorities and other social enterprises. We have a team of specialists with extensive business management, education and care sector experience and, as part of an established care sector charity, teams active in the development, management and delivery of social and medical care. Building on this know-how, in addition to business start up and development training and consultancy services, we provide tailored training to third sector health and social care professionals and practitioners as well as volunteers and carers.

IS3, the Innovation School for the Third Sector was established as a specialist department within Focus Enterprises to support the needs of third sector organisations who are engaged in new product and service development. IS3 offers a strategic innovation facilitation service based on future thinking and future proofing principles to help protect organisations and service users during times of political, social and economic change.

As a social enterprise Focus Enterprises combines commercial activity with social benefit, ensuring that our working practices and actions are always based on consideration of the social, environmental and community impact. Each year we reinvest in developing our services and gift all the money we make back to Focus Birmingham, a registered charity, http://www.focusbirmingham.org.uk

In all other respects we are just like any other business, aiming to provide the highest quality service and the best possible value to our customers and clients. Enterprises is led and managed by skilled and experienced business people so doing business with us is always a positive business decision.
