Year: 2020

When  the 23^rd of March came, a lot of the SAMEE self-employment family began to contact us . . .

Could we help with money, talking to job centre, contracts, maintaining customers and so much more . . . After three days of fielding calls, I asked a couple of team members to step in and help me . . .

This has led to our new project SEAS.

The SAMEE Den has been set up to ensure that all our self-employed people have somewhere safe to ask questions, gain knowledge and explore opportunities.

Not only do we have our charity supported people on there, we are also delighted to have experts supporting them such as Mark Gracey, a GDPR and Data Protection expert and Shelley Collins from Dorset Growth Hub with amazing opportunities for further training and support.

The DEN is already establishing a working network with new and young businesses talking to each other to see how they can support.  It was brilliant to see Vince Jones from First Aid Training the Cares share that he has seen over 1000 clients since working with us on his business idea and Lorraine Stanley from Sex with a Difference sharing how we supported her from an idea into a Charity!

If you would like to join the Den, then message us on email or through Facebook on the SAMEE charity page – we look forward to welcoming you.

Best wishes

Sam

As we are now learning about a new Covid-19 epidemic spreading among the community - From next week Samee will be suspending our 1-1 face meetings with clients . . .

This however does not mean that we are closing our doors to help & support our clients, with the Coronavirus precautions in mind we have decided the way forward is still to do appointments but through alternative methods . . .

We are still able to answer your questions through Face Time, What's App . . . Or take a step back in time & try e-mail . . . or when dinosaur's roamed the earth . . . telephone . . .

Many of our new clients have concerns about how the social interaction & shutdown will affect them & their new business start-up  . . . For many this could not have come at a worst point . . . quitting benefits or a good job to start afresh only to be halted in your tracks by an unforeseen event of global proportions . . .

Everyone is now wondering about what the future is now holding for their new business idea & the way forward from here . . .

The Samee Team our Business Mentors & Trustees are all here to offer any support we can in these unprecedented times  . . .

Together we will get through this . . . There is light at the end of  the tunnel ( Hope it's not a slow train coming 🙂 ) . . . Gratuitous Bob Dylan reference . . .
