Regional Social Enterprise Day events
North East
The North East Social Enterprise Partnership is holding a series of sub-regional events across the North East on Social Enterprise Day. The events, taking place in Tees Valley, Durham and Northumberland, will explore a range of issues and will be bound by the common theme of addressing what sort of business support is needed by social enterprises to prosper and take up new opportunities presented by the Big Society.

North West
Following the sell-out success of last year’s Social Enterprise North West Trade Fair, this year the ‘In Business for Good’ Trade Fair will be taking place on Social Enterprise Day at the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral.
Last year’s event attracted over 90 exhibitors and 600 delegates and this year offers opportunities for trading and networking as well as the chance to participate in workshops on contracting with social landlords, franchising, the Personalisation Agenda and much much more.
The annual Trade Fair, supported by the Northwest Regional Development Agency, is also an excellent way for the public sector to see how the government’s Big Society
is already being delivered in practice, across the North West.Speaking on the day are Philip Blond, Director of ResPublica, Clare Dove, CEO of Blackburne House and Liam Byrne MP (invited).

East Midlands
Social Enterprise East Midlands (SEEM) will be offering a full-day conference bringing together the latest sector news and information, a variety of practical workshops and most importantly, the opportunity to network with practitioners and supporters of social enterprise from across the East Midlands giving you the tools for ‘connecting the dots’.
Workshops will cover topics such as consortia building, community share issues, choosing the right impact measurement tool, investment readiness and the latest in social media.
We will also be addressing the new and innovative ways that social enterprises are responding to the delivery of public services both from within and outside of the public sector.
As always, we will take the opportunity of Social Enterprise Day to celebrate the successes and achievements of the many social enterprises that enrich the region’s economy.

These sessions have been funded by the South West Regional Development Agency.RISE are also exhibiting at the Social Enterprise Day event at Plymouth University on the 18th November. Chief Exec of RISE – Julie Harris – is also sitting on a panel for a Q&A session at the event on ‘How can social enterprise in Plymouth be supported to flourish?’.
