You do not need to have an established organisation or social enterprise in place before applying.
What can the funding support?
Successful applicants can receive up to £5,000 towards start-up costs, helping them take the first steps towards developing and testing their social enterprise idea.
The fund could be suitable for individuals who have identified an issue in their community and have an idea for a sustainable way of addressing it.
