The Social Entrepreneurship Division of Medicom Social Plus Ltd. itself will increase its management capacity, will research the possibilities for market realisation of provision of social services to older people through social entrepreneurship in Sofia and in the country, as well as international experience in this area, and will popularize the provided services to representatives of the project target groups. This will allow more representatives of the target groups to go out of isolation, to be employed and to successfully integrate in the sphere of social economy. The project is implemented in partnership with Medicom - Consult Ltd. In a long-term period, Medicom Social Plus Ltd. through its Social Entrepreneurship Division will be able to provide better social services on affordable prices to older people, which will reduce their risk from social isolation, negligence and subsequent institutionalisation.
