Organised by

UnLtd is the foundation for social entrepreneurs. We empower people from all backgrounds to change our society for the better through sustainable, purposeful business, in local communities or across the UK.

We know social entrepreneurs offer some of the best solutions to loneliness, employment, community resilience and our nation’s long term economic, social and cultural health. To help them succeed we provide:

1. grant funding and access to blended finance,

2. wraparound business support from our 1-to-1 advisors

3. access to professional and peer support networks

By making business leadership more accessible for a diverse group of entrepreneurs, we can generate a diverse range of solutions that address societies complex needs. In 2020 we supported 662 social entrepreneurs and committed to giving 50% of all our early-stage funding to entrepreneurs who identify as Black, Asian or from a minority ethnic background and/or disabled entrepreneurs.
