SEEE is a membership and networking organization for social enterprises and others. We also have a strategic influence on national, regional and local policy relating to social enterprise.

SEEE's aim is to support and promote our social enterprise sector as a valuable part of the region's economy which also has significant social impact.

The Co-operative Enterprise hub helps to support and develop new and existing co-operative enterprises. Our aim is to grow the co-operative economy, creating strong ethically-led businesses with a deep sense of social responsibility.

So many of the challenges faced by local communities throughout the UK could benefit from a co-operative solution.

When we say co-operative solution, we mean putting co-operative values and principles at the heart of your approach. Those values are self-help, self-responsibility, equality and solidarity. The principles that help us bring those values to life are voluntary and open membership, democratic member control, member economic participation, autonomy and independence, education, training and information, co-operation among co-operatives and concern for the community.
