Advice
SEN provides advice on the establishment, development of and support for, embryonic or aspiring social enterprises. Part of this advice involves sign-posting groups to a range of appropriate support, delivered by other organisations, including by SEN members.
SEN brokers consortia, drawn from its members, to deliver a range of other services, including business start-up advice & counselling; communication & marketing; etc. If you are looking for a social economy solution to your needs, contact SEN first and if we cannot help directly, we will pass you onto an organisation who can.
