This free 12-month programme helps charities, social enterprises, and community organisations get ready for social investment. Social investment means borrowing money or taking on investors to grow your organisation, rather than applying for a grant. The programme is run by Action Together and is based in North West England. It is designed for organisations that want to strengthen their trading activity and aim to seek social investment within the next three years.
Who can apply:
Key requirements:
- Must intend to seek social investment within the next three years
- Must be a charity, social enterprise, or community organisation
This programme is for charities, social enterprises, and community organisations in North West England. You should be planning to seek social investment within the next three years and want to grow through trading. It is not for organisations looking for traditional grants or those with no plans to take on investment.
