UnLtd, the charity that supports social entrepreneurs and enterprises, has re-opened applications for its Funding Futures Programme — designed to empower young people aged 16 to 30 whose ideas promote financial inclusion within marginalised communities across the UK.
The programme offers two tiers of support:
-
Starting Up Grant – up to £8,000 for early-stage social initiatives that are beginning to demonstrate positive impact.
-
Scaling Up Grant – up to £18,000 for existing social ventures seeking to expand their reach and strengthen their financial sustainability.
In addition to funding, participants receive tailored support including one-to-one coaching, peer workshops, legal advice, and financial literacy training to help founders overcome barriers and grow their impact.
To be eligible, applicants must be UK-based, aged 16–30, and running a social idea or venture that has been operating for fewer than four years, with a focus on improving financial inclusion.
