Since Social Platform’s formation in 1995, we have grown in size and influence. Membership has grown from 20 to 47 and they in turn represent more than 11,600 national organisations in every EU member state – covering a large spectrum of the EU social civil society sector.

Every organisation involving members of different natures and cultures, and working in a complex and rapidly changing environment, needs a framework to help ensure consistency of purpose and action. Our strategic orientation therefore articulates a series of values and objectives intended to provide coherence, focus and direction to all of the activities undertaken by Social Platform. It will also help create a sense of belonging to a community that encompasses the various identities and interests of our members.

Our vision, mission, values and corresponding strategic objectives will support us in defining our priorities each year. This will help us to focus on our core activities and thus, when necessary, be more reactive to key EU initiatives.
