Welcome to Social Enterprise East MidlandsSEEM is the voice of social enterprise in the East Midlands. We bring together key stakeholders in the sector with a collective mission: to create an environment in the East Midlands where social enterprise is encouraged to develop and enabled to grow.
This website is a source of information, intelligence and resources for social enterprises and those interested in social enterprise in the East Midlands. ------------------------------------------------- 
The Social Enterprise MarkThe new Social Enterprise Mark has now been launched. There are high hopes that it will create a much better understanding of what social enterprise is and get more people to buy from, engage with, start up and work for social enterprises. The Mark identifies businesses that meet defined criteria for social enterprise and offers consumers an instantly recognisable logo that represents enterprises working for social and environmental aims, trading to benefit people and the planet.

(NOMS)
NOMS want to work more closely with social enterprises as providers of services to them. For this to happen, NOMS need to know more about social enterprise in this region, particularly the size of the potential market for business with them. To develop this market intelligence SEEM is working with NOMS to gather information on social enterprises that may have the potential to become service providers to them.
