 SENS
will alert you to key events in and around Suffolk that are interest
to Suffolk social enterprises.
SENS Events
in 2008
At
SENS events, there
are no long speeches, no 'expert' panels. no being talked at.
Instead, you contribute the content, attend workshops hosted by
your peers, and make your own highly-interactive event.
 SENS
is planning a regular series of combined business and social events
for members in 2008. Subject to continued SEEE funding, these
will usually be free"half-day" events running 10am to
2pm, with a buffet lunch included, and be spread around Suffolk.
The
next SENS workshop is pencilled in for the latter half of June,
in the Stowmarket area. More details to follow...

This
free
interactive workshop builds on the SENS Strategy for Promoting
Social Enterprise in Suffolk (on our website) and has been set
up by fellow social entrepreneurs (SENS volunteers). We will be
exploring areas of self-help (information exchange and mentoring)
and collaboration in the face of challenges and opportunities
resulting from rapid change in various sectors. It will also help
to shape SENS activities as the trade association for social enterprises
in Suffolk , acting on behalf of our collective interests.
Please
make every effort to attend this semi-structured informal get
together in order to add strength to these initiatives and the
direction of follow-on workshops…
