Are you running a community business – an organisation that directly benefits your local area? Do you want to increase your impact and sales?

We could support you through the Community Business Trade Up Programme, run by School for Social Entrepreneurs, in partnership with Power to Change. Applications are open now!

This programme helps the leaders of community businesses and community-focused social enterprises in England, with:

• A fully-funded learning programme: 12 days spread over six months
• A Matched Trading grant of up to £10,000
• A community of people running organisations like yours

To help you decide if the programme is right for you we recommend attending an information session. These sessions are informal and friendly and will give you a great insight into what to expect from the School for Social Entrepreneurs.

At the information sessions you will have the opportunity to ask questions (about the programme and the application process) as well as the opportunity to meet other community business leaders in your area.
