Can you believe we are already in the second half of 2020? To say that this year has been eventful would be an understatement, but as we emerge from lockdown and start to adapt to the new normal, here at Firstport we are excited to get back to the business of helping social entrepreneurs make their ideas happen.
You can read about what’s been happening at Firstport, what SEF awardees have been up to and why we are hopeful for the future by reading our blog here.
After a four-month pause, today we re-open the Social Entrepreneurs Fund (SEF) and we cannot wait to see what ideas come through our (virtual) doors!
From today, you can apply to the following three funds:
Pounds for Purpose – £500 awards if you are aged 16-26 and want to put an idea that creates a positive impact into action.
Start It – Up to £5000 towards the start-up costs of your social enterprise idea.
Build It- Up to £25,000 if you have tried and tested a social enterprise idea and want to turn it into your full-time job.
SEF is about helping people from all walks of life to make a living while doing good. If the events this year have spurred you on to pursue a social enterprise idea, get in touch! We have the support and funding to help you on your journey.
