The
Social Enterprise Network Suffolk
(SENS) is the trade association for social enterprises in Suffolk
- with a strong focus on social enterprises which are operationally
based, exclusively or predominantly, in Suffolk.
The
Social Enterprise Network Suffolk
(SENS) operates as an informal network
of Suffolk social enterprises,with
no paid staff and a volunteer management committee. We are a mutual
support group of independent Suffolk micro social enterprises
(with less than 10 employees). Events and communications are arranged
on an ad hoc basis, as and when appropriate.
SENS
is working
on developing and implementing the "Big Society" and
Suffolk County Council's new strategic direction agenda..
SENS
is both a membership organisation
and a strategy and
policy
organisation. SENS's primary aim is
to embed social enterprise firmly into the economic framework
of Suffolk, and to show measurable and significant social and
economic impact. At SENS our vision is a prosperous and vibrant
social enterprise sector in Suffolk.
SENS
is the county mouthpiece for the social enterprise movement linking
national, regional and local social
enterprise strategies and interpreting and promoting these appropriately
to practitioners in the county. SENS also advises and influences
other local policy makers/stakeholders on policy development.
SENS
exists to build and strengthen the platform for a thriving social
enterprise movement to ensure the growth and increase of the diversity,
prosperity and sustainability of the social enterprise sector
and partners in Suffolk. SENS aims to be the primary source
of knowledge & information about social enterprise in Suffolk.
