NUSHO - NU Social Health Organisation - Stratford, London provides Time Banking for GP Practices, Schools and Community Groups in London and across the UK - Supporting and Empowering communities.
NU Social Health Organisation (NUSHO) Mission is to: Deliver high quality services to support health and social care aims, empower communities, support individuals, communities and sustain a business model that is viable and responsive to market trends. At the heart of this fledging social enterprise, its charitable objects encompass the values and the belief of the founders of the organisation. To develop capacity and skills of members of disadvantaged communities so they are able to meet needs.
Nu Social Health Organisation Ltd (NUSHO) is a Not-For-Profit company limited by guarantee (Registration No. 7455385), established in 2010 by its founders members. Examples of our objects include:
1. One of our objectives To provide a range of quality services that will make a difference to the community by creating opportunities for those least likely to experience prosperity.
2. To build sustainable volunteering projects in communities in order to address social isolation and encourage intergenerational working, leading to a greater respect and understanding of all age groups.
To deliver these objects NUSHO has chosen to undertake the following strategy:
A. It has adopted the social enterprise model to ensure that it will not have to rely on fundraising as its main source of income. The organisation has undertaken to contribute 50% of its available profits to the charity to progress its aims that it will set up within its first year.
B. It aims to establish time banks in deprived communities, concentrating initially in eight of the most economically-deprived boroughs in London, and then spread throughout the UK. These time banks will encourage time banking, which is an exciting way for people to come together to help others in their community and themselves at the same time. The funds raised through the charity will provide assistance with meeting some of the expenses of these new time banks.
NUSHOs goal is to have a profitable business with an adequate turnover to invest in aspects of the community, as well as provide the expertise for supporting future subsidiaries of the company and establish a respectable market share initially in the health and social care industry, but later in other markets.
From the outset and moving forward NUSHO has taken a very practical approach to realising these laudable intentions through operating as a social enterprise with the time banking philosophy at its centre.
