Community Business Trade Up
Grants available: up to £5,000
Deadline to apply: 28 June
Who is the funding for?
School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE) and Power to Change are delivering grants to community businesses, or CICs. It encourages organisations that exist to improve a local community to apply, especially if the company is less than four years old.
Now in its sixth round of funding, SSE and Power to Change are keen to support early-stage community businesses that are led by mostly young people (16 – 35 years old), led by a team who are from a racialised or minoritised community, or located in and supporting a deprived community.
The scheme is delivered in London, Birmingham, Bristol and Liverpool.
Caspar Kennerdale from ClearCommunityWeb, a company that received a place on the programme, said: “Participating in the programme has really helped us define and now shape our business so that we can get on with building upon our impact. We have been able to step back, review and focus. We didn’t realise how powerful this could be.”
