UnLtd - Home | UnLtd | The Foundation for Social Entrepreneurs |

We are UnLtd. We want to create a future where enterprising people are transforming our world for good.

With social and economic inequality growing in the UK, more people than ever are using innovative and sustainable business ideas to help drive social change.

Whether they are providing jobs, improving the lives of people in later life, or making a positive impact in the places where they live and work, these social entrepreneurs put social purpose at the heart of what they do, ahead of financial gain.

We think social entrepreneurs make a difference and need our support. We find, fund, and support them to bring their ideas to life and build sustainable social ventures.

Since 2002, working in partnership, we have supported over 16,500 social entrepreneurs. Last year they helped more than 870,000 people to improve their lives. From starting up to scaling up, UnLtd's unique package of support and funding helps social entrepreneurs to realise their untapped potential and build a better society for all. Together, we are unstoppable.
