SCDG aims to promote knowledge of and interest in co-operation and co-operative principles in worker co-operatives, employee led businesses and social and community enterprises.

It believes that the greatest possible involvement of a workforce in the management and control of an organisation is an effective step towards achieving such fulfilment and of maximising the potential of that organisation.

It recognises that the achievement of such ends requires not only careful learning from the past but also the active development of new ideas suited to changing social, economic and technological environments.

It aims to provide high quality advice and practical assistance within the timescale required to any group of people trying to protect or develop their jobs or to create new ones.

It aims to identify the barriers to success for the organisations and people it assists and to seek ways of overcoming them.

Through assessment of its own practice and that of the organisations it assists and through more general research it aims constantly to identify, appraise and adopt models of best practice in order to achieve its objectives.

It aims to disseminate such information to all who might benefit from it.

In seeking to achieve these aims and objectives it will work with local and national bodies within the co-operative movement and social and community development agencies.

It will work and liaise with other enterprise development agencies.

It will work and liaise with local and national training organisations.
