Na przestrzeni ostatnich dwoch dekad w Wielkiej Brytanii znacznie wzrosło zainteresowanie przedsiębiorstwami społecznymi. Brytyjscy politycy zaczęli dostrzegać ich potencjał w tworzeniu i dostarczaniu usług dla społeczeństwa oraz pozytywny wpływ na rozwoj społeczno-ekonomiczny kraju. Wyzwania stojące przed rządzącą w latach 1997–2010 partią lewicową, a następnie obecną rządową koalicją konserwatywno-liberalną zaowocowały nowymi ideologicznymi rozwiązaniami mającymi na celu usprawnienie funkcjonowania państwa. Wzrosła m.in. rola organizacji pozarządowych oraz samej ludności w rozwiązywaniu lokalnych problemow. Na znaczeniu zyskała także koprodukcja, czyli wspołpraca między dostarczającymi usługi, a jej odbiorcami, traktowana jako nowy sposob rozwiązywania problemow państwa. Obecny kierunek brytyjskiej polityki sugeruje więc odejście od tzw. „państwa opiekuńczego” i formowanie „państwa umożliwiającego”, w ktorym obywatele angażują się w zaspokajanie społeczno-ekonomicznych potrzeb w innowacyjny sposob. Bazując na przykładzie Wielkiej Brytanii, artykuł ten odnosi się do uwarunkowań politycznych oraz ograniczeń związanych z funkcjonowaniem przedsiębiorstw społecznych w tym kraju. Ponadto artykuł prezentuje wyzwania, przed ktorymi stoją przedsiębiorstwa społeczne na terenie UK oraz nawiązuje do empirycznych wynikow jednego z projektow Unii Europejskiej, ktorego celem było przetestowanie koncepcji przedsiębiorstwa społecznego. Prowadzona dyskusja autorow nawiązuje do istotnych kwestii bytu i możliwości rozwoju przedsiębiorstw społecznych w omawianym państwie oraz kierunkow zmian, jakie muszą nastąpić, aby przedsiębiorstwa społeczne mogły się rozwijać.

In Great Britain within the period of last two decades the interest in social firm has significantly grown up. British politicians have become to acknowledge their potential in producing and delivering services for local community as well as their positive impact on socio-economic development of the country. The challenges facing Labour Party in 1997–2010 and the present Conservative-Liberal coalition have brought about new ideological solutions aiming to make more effective the functions of the state. The role of NGO’s and citizens in solving local problems has grown up. The co-production, that is co-operation between service deliverers and their receivers perceived as a new way to solve the problems of the state has become more important. The present trend in British policy suggests thus to withdraw from welfare state and to form enabling state, within which the citizens are involved in meeting their socio-economic needs in the innovative way. In the analysis of the Great Britain example the paper deals with political conditions and limitations related to the operation of social firms. The article also presents the challenges the British social firms face and recalls the empirical outcomes of the one of the EU project, which aimed to test the concept of social firm. The discussion of the authors touches the essential question of social firms existence and their opportunities to develop as well as the trends of change that have to be brought about in order to further develop social firms.
