SENS is the Suffolk trade association for local social enterprises, trading not for private profit but for a social purpose. SENS has a strong focus on social enterprises which are operationally based, exclusively or predominantly, in Suffolk.

SENS's primary aim is to embed social enterprise firmly into the economic framework of Suffolk, and to show measurable and significant social and economic impact. At SENS our vision is a prosperous and vibrant social enterprise sector in Suffolk.

SENS is the county mouthpiece for the social enterprise movement linking national, regional and local social enterprise strategies and interpreting and promoting these appropriately to practitioners in the county. SENS also advises and influences SEEE and other local policy makers/stakeholders on policy development.
