School for Social Entrepreneurs: 12 Month Support to Grow Income
Closing date
Charities, social enterprises and community organisations in England can apply for a free 12-month support programme run by the School for Social Entrepreneurs. The programme helps organisations grow the income they earn through trading and prepare to take on social investment, usually within three years.
Support will include a review of the organisation’s needs, group learning sessions, business advice, introductions to investors and peer coaching. Organisations should already be earning income through trading, have plans to grow, and usually have annual income of more than £100,000. Flexible funding may be available, including a Match Trading™ grant of up to £18,000 or a repayable grant of up to £24,000.
Applicants must register their interest by noon on 17 July 2026 to receive the guidance notes and application form.
