There have been loads of great articles and interesting reads this week, there is a lot for you to get stuck into. If you see anything that you think others would benefit from, send me a link on Twitter and I’ll try and include it next week.

After a week off recharging batteries (mainly watching the World Cup, and we’re not out yet!) here’s your weekly roundup of social enterprise news.

Here’s this week’s roundup of everything that’s been going on – it’s been a busy week in the world of social enterprise!
There won’t be an edition next week, as I’ll be working on my tan in tropical Scotland (current forecast = murky). Back in a couple of weeks!
SSE has built and sustained several multiyear strategic partnerships with organisations including PwC, Linklaters, Royal Sun Alliance and Lloyds Banking Group. These partnerships have generated unprecedented growth in our delivery of learning programmes for social entrepreneurs and subsequently increased our social impact to heights we could have never previously imagined.
For SSE, the key components to long lasting partnerships include; building relationships at multiple levels, open (and frequent) dialogue, understanding our partners business & brand and a clear understanding of each stakeholder’s objectives- both mutual and organisation specific.
Whether you like to celebrate Valentine’s Day or not (in SSE HQ most seem to be fairly scathing!) we thought it would be nice to profile some of our fabulous fellows who are doing wonderful things in their communities.
We’ve picked 9 fellows to profile here- but of course we wish a happy valentines to everyone who has been through the SSE programme. If any of the enterprises below take your interest then you can find out more by visiting their websites.
We’ll leave it to you to work out how we’ve tediously tied this into February 14th
