Personalisation Versus
Commissioning
Care Plus Group is not a care Society which
serves people, it is a people Society which
provides care.
“A social enterprise is driven by the best interests
of the community. A social entrepreneur will always
be bold, aspirational and ambitious because their
prime purpose is to change the world.”
Penny Newman CEO, Cafedirect Feb 2007
