✨ Add a Little Magic to the SEYH Awards… Sponsor a Golden Envelope! ✨

At the SEYH Awards, every table has a Golden Envelope – and inside is a surprise prize waiting to be won. It’s always one of the most exciting moments of the evening.

SEYH (Social Enterprise Yorkshire & Humber) is a social enterprise that supports and champions social enterprises across the region. Our annual Awards bring people together to celebrate the organisations and individuals making a real difference in our communities. Many of our guests work tirelessly in the sector – running community projects, supporting vulnerable people and tackling inequality. The Golden Envelopes are a lovely way to give something back and recognise their incredible work. This year has sold out with 160 attendees.

We’re looking for organisations who would like to donate a prize. Previous prizes have included:
🍽️ A meal for two with a bottle of wine
🏨 Overnight hotel stays
🎟️ Theatre or event tickets
🧺 Luxury hampers
💆 Spa or wellbeing vouchers
🛍️ Gift vouchers and local experiences

It’s also a great opportunity to showcase your organisation to everyone attending.

If you’d like to donate a Golden Envelope prize, we’d love to hear from you.

A significant milestone last week with the launch of Community Tourism UK.

The announcement came at the close of two day conference in Glasgow, which brought together partners from across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to sign a joint Community Led Tourism declaration.

The network has been developing since conversations began at the Good Organisation (Social Ventures) CIC conference in York last summer, so it was fantastic to see it formally launched with so many collaborators and supporters.

We’re incredibly grateful to our colleagues at SCOTO Network, who not only organised the event in Glasgow, but have been central to this partnership since its inception.

You can read the declaration at www.communitytourism.uk

For the month of February we have had CJ and Harry from Coterminous CIC attending our tuesday sessions. They have been sharing advice and information about mindful budgeting and shopping, demonstrating how small, manageable adjustments can be made to stretch funds that little bit further.

Four individuals have signed up directly with Coterminous; a further twelve individuals received support around budgeting and spending. Harry and CJ introduced many of our clients to a range of really useful money-saving apps whilst also providing general advice on batch cooking, shopping times and avoiding marketing tricks.

Coterminous are hoping to find some additional funding so that they can help more individuals in our ward. A real highlight of this programme has been the cross community support which has been built, deepening connections and linking up support systems for those who need it in the area. Harry and CJ are hoping to return to the Collective Sharehouse at a later date to provide workshops and further advice for those who would like it.

🌟 Learning Together, Growing Together 🌟

It’s been a brilliant week at Nourishing People as our members have been taking part in Food Hygiene training. 🍽️✨

What really stood out wasn’t just the skills being learned, but the way everyone supported one another — sharing knowledge, asking questions, and working through the activities as a team. This is what our community is all about: people lifting each other up and learning side by side.

We’re so proud of the dedication, encouragement, and teamwork shown by everyone involved. Here’s to building confidence, gaining new skills, and continuing to support each other every step of the way. 💛

“Thank you so much for all your support with Making Sparks CIC - it was one of your training sessions that motivated me to push forward and get it set-up but otherwise I'd just been sitting on it for years, you've been amazing support through all the ups and downs over the year. Running a non-profit is incredibly hard work and you've been there all the way. Keep up the amazing work.” - Riyaz Gajra, Making Sparks CIC

We're so proud to be the 'spark' ⚡️ that helped this Dewsbury community service get off the ground. They're one of the nominees for the Start Up Award at this year's Social Enterprise Yorkshire and Humber Awards.
