This year we’ve seen a very high number and standard of applications from social ventures, particularly in England. As a result we have reached our capacity to support social entrepreneurs in this financial year. We are therefore not currently accepting Try It, Do It or Grow It applications in England.
Applications for these awards will reopen on Monday 1st April 2019.
We are still open for applications if:
- Your venture is based in one of our resilient community areas please click here for further information.
- You are tackling local social issues in Hackney, Barking & Dagenham. You can apply to be part of East End Connect.
We look forward to receiving your future application. In the mean-time we have a number of online resources available in our learning area and run many free events for social entrepreneurs which we’d encourage you to attend.
Our Try It award will help you on your first steps of testing out your idea. We’ll back you with up to £500, alongside a unique package of support including one-to-one coaching from a dedicated award manager (one of our local experts in helping social entrepreneurs to start and grow), training, mentoring and access to networks of other passionate people doing good.
What you get
- Up to £500 funding
- A package of support tailored to suits you
- One-to-one guidance from an UnLtd award manager
- Specialist advice from relevant experts
- Access to resources to help you get up and running
- Access to the UnLtd mentor scheme.
Important information
Over the next three years UnLtd has committed to three focus areas where we believe social entrepreneurs can make a big impact. If your venture is working within one of these focus areas, your award application is more likely to be successful.
UnLtd’s core awards are funded by the Millennium Awards Trust and are open to enterprising people tackling any social issue. Please note that the application process is competitive and we are currently able to fund less than half of those who apply for awards that are outside one of our focus areas.
