After last week’s record breaking mega-edition I’m keeping this brief, for three main reasons: 1. I was in Liverpool for a large part of the week at the Locality conference and wasn’t really paying attention to the news. 2. I don’t feel well. 3. I’m writing this at home on a laptop that I never use and the keys all seem to be in the wrong place. I KEEP HITTING CAPS LOCK for example.

But you don’t want to listen to me whining. It’s Friday, and you want to wind down for the week. So grab a cup of tea and take five minutes to read the news and relax. I’ll be in a better mood next week. Promise.

Have a good weekend!

Hello! I’m back! I’ve discovered that two weeks in the sun is just about long enough to forget a) all your work passwords and b) how to type. It took me pretty much all week just to login so that I could put Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You together and get it sent out today.

We’ve got loads of new subscribers, so welcome to you all. If you’re not sure what you’ve signed up to, I can only apologise in advance for cluttering up your inbox each Friday with poorly constructed syntax and attempts to be funny. You’ll find the unsubscribe button at the bottom, but bear in mind that I get my wages docked each time someone uses it and it’s coming up to Christmas.

On with the news…

A very misleading headline. This week’s edition is a little dry, it seems I used all my creative inspiration on last week’s poetry edition. So much so that I’m taking off on holiday for a couple of weeks to recharge my batteries. No Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You until 6th November, you’ll be relieved to hear.

Enjoy this week’s news (there’s a lot of it) and have a good couple of weeks.

Yesterday was National Poetry Day
So this is written in rhyme, I hope it’s ok.
It’s a little annoying, that much is true
But that’s often the way, with Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You.

The SSE London team spent the day in a forest yesterday. We learned how to (sort of) start a fire, how to (sort of) walk like a fox and then we hunted a man playing a flute while we were blindfolded and barefoot in a forest. (Hmmm. I’m sure that it was chestnuts in the soup that we ate a lunchtime, but I might be wrong).

Huge thanks to SSE student Robert Fallon for hosting us at his project Wild Nature – highly recommended if you want to do some team building and pick up some survival skills.

Enjoy your weekend
