Social Enterprise Awards
Upstream has been recognised for its work in enabling people to do things for themselves and in helping people to create local provision to meet local need, influenced and shared by participants and communities.
In 2008, Upstream won First Prize nationally in a competition for a photograph that best showed how social enterprise can transform people’s lives. The competition was run by the Social Enterprise Coalition and the Government Office of the Third Sector. The photograph showed members of an Upstream group participating in African drumming. The photograph also won the regional competition run by RISE, the Regional Institute for Social Enterprise.
In 2009, Upstream became a Pathfinder for the Department of Health Social Enterprise Unit, with a proposal to establish a consortium social enterprise that would develop business and contracts for frontline organisations with hands-on expertise in local delivery. This led to the formation of Well UK (see elsewhere). In the same year, Well UK was selected to participate in a social enterprise development programme for Healthy Living Centres, led by Leaside Regeneration, see www.leasideregeneration.com, funded by the Big Lottery Fund.
