South and Vale organisations can now apply for up to £50,000 in funding under our UKSPF E22 intervention: Enterprise Infrastructure & Employment / Innovation business support.
Funding is available for an organisation to set up and deliver an enterprise support programme that will unlock enterprise skills within the districts, reduce social isolation and improve employment opportunities in areas of deprivation.
The programme will offer a range of specialist support, including expert advice and guidance, which helps residents to consider self-employment opportunities and provides them with a route to start or grow a business. This should include sole traders providing services to the local area, social enterprises and co-ops that benefit the local community, and opportunities for individuals to develop enterprise skills in areas of deprivation that could lead to self-employment.
A focus of this procurement is to create purposeful businesses, including social enterprises and co-ops, that provide a benefit to communities in areas of multiple deprivation.
The application window is open until 5pm on Tuesday 27 August 2024.
Apply via the South East Business Portal.
