CPCE is a community-run social enterprise initiative in Leeds that aims to improve care packages for eligible individuals and increase support for non-eligible people. It uses social capital within communities to free up resources, which are then reinvested in local community initiatives and provide savings back to the local authority. Two social enterprises in Leeds cover three neighborhoods and engage with 60,000 people. The enterprises manage £13 million in funding and aim to reinvest up to 20% more wisely, providing up to a 6% return to the local authority, with the remaining funds reinvested in local communities through incentives that value older people.
