E3M is an initiative that supports social enterprise innovation in the delivery of public services. E stands for Exchange because we are committed to an exchange of ideas, knowledge and practice about social enterprise innovation, as well as progressive approaches to running public services and local economic development. The three Ms are Markets, Money and Models; when the interactions between these are right it can make all the difference to the success of a social enterprise. E3M aims to be a catalyst for change, in particular developing thought leadership on key elements for social enterprise growth where there are gaps in current thinking. At the heart of E3M are its three clubs. The Social Enterprise Leaders’ Club supports a group of leaders from the largest and most successful social enterprises that trade in public service markets. The E3M Bold Commissioners’ Club brings together senior leaders in public bodies who are pushing the boundaries of commissioning practice, and want to share learning and develop thought leadership in this field. The Action-Focussed Funders’ Group brings together a mix of funders that have a particular interest/focus on growth of the social economy in places through their investments. Offering a programme of activities for members and a series of knowledge sharing events open to non-members, E3M is supported by partners to provide expertise and to share knowledge about the key ingredients for social enterprise growth to maximise social impact. Developed and managed by Social Business International (SBI), E3M’s core partners are Buzzacott LLP, Stone King LLP and Zurich Municipal, with additional partners supporting a number of specific activities. A small team assists Managing Director Jonathan Bland with delivering E3M’s aims and programme of events. CONTACT E3M Follow us on LinkedIn
