SENScot

Extract from website

SENScot work to ensure that social enterprises in Scotland have the support they need to deliver positive outcomes in their communities.  
In particular, they seek to represent the interests of SENs, their members and other frontline social enterprises by liaising with the Scottish Government to ensure that policy creation is both fair and effective.
Their main activities involve informing; connecting; consulting; developing; and seeking to represent the interests and values of our social enterprise community:
  • They ‘inform’ via a popular weekly bulletin and other newsletters as well as a supporting website.
  • They ‘connect’ and ‘consult’ through the encouragement and support of 16 local and 5 thematic Social Enterprise Networks (SENs) – independent forums of peer support, collective action and market development for Scotland’s social enterprises.
  • They ‘develop’ by working with others to identify gaps in support and seek to develop and incubate new services designed to strengthen Scotland’s social economy. In time, these services float off as independent bodies.
  • They seek to ‘represent‘ the interests and values of the front line SE community in Scotland – discussing policy and strategy with Scottish Govt.

NB.  SENScot and Social Firms Scotland merged in July 2020 and formed SE Connect
SE Connect was lauched on 1st July and renamed on 2nd July as Social Enterprise Network Scotland (approval pending)
