Society Matters cic is a proud member of the North East Chamber of Commerce (NECC) and we are thrilled to be highlighted in their ‘Meet the Member’ feature.

Membership of NECC is vitally important to us as it allows us to reach out to our many fellow members and talk about the ways we can help them make their mark.

We joined the North East Chamber of Commerce because of the huge benefit it provides us as a community interest company. We’re primarily based in Gateshead, covering the North East, but also work nationally as well. Being a member of NECC means we can get out there and meet people and talk about why society matters. Each unique event is great for meeting people and helping is spread and share the knowledge of what Society Matters does.

If you’re interested in finding out more about how we can help you Mark Your Mark on society, contact us and let’s talk.
