Funding and support is now on offer for social entrepreneurs based in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. In response to COVID-19, we have boosted our core awards programme for social entrepreneurs in these areas to ensure that support gets where it is most needed.
We can support you to start or grow your business, whether you have an idea on paper or a social venture in practice already. We offer awards from £500 to £15,000 across three separate start-up packages for social entrepreneurs.
You will also receive 12-months one-to-one/peer support from UnLtd and our partners tailored around you to help you achieve your goals and grow your impact.
Our early stage awards are open call, meaning we are always open to receiving applications and will be giving out funding past this first deadline.
We are committed to inclusion, and particularly welcome applications from social entrepreneurs who identify as Black, Asian or from a minority ethnic background, disabled people and leaders with direct lived experience of the issues that the social enterprise is addressing.
Based in Dundee or South Wales Valleys? Thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery, we are working with people in your area to create local solutions for local issues. Click here for more information.
