East Midlands SSE (EMSSE) was established in 2002/3 by a consortium of organisations, led by Notts Rural Community Council, including the East Midlands Development Agency (who also provided development funding), Mansfield District Council, Nottinghamshire Business Link, Leicester Housing Association and Social Enterprise East Midlands. EMSSE is an independently constituted organisation, which has since forged further links with other local and regional organisations including the Scarman Trust, Leicester CAN and the Development Trusts Association, as well as delivering contracts for local social enterprise partnerships.
EMSSE has delivered programmes to over 100 students from across the region over the past 5 years, including an entrepreneurs and advisors programme in Notts and Leics, and a cultural entrepreneurs programme in Derby.
For details of its current programme(s), see Activities and News below.
EMSSE will start recruiting for its 2010/11 programme from April 2010. To register your interest in becoming a student on our next programme, or for more information, please contact Fergus Brazel, Programme Manager, on 0115 875 8828 or e-mail fergus@emsse.org.uk.
EMSSE is also able to provide mentoring support, study visits and action learning sets to social enterprises across the East Midlands through our SMART Social Enterprise project funded by Capacity Builders.
