Social Entrepreneurs Programme - Do you know an aspiring social entrepreneur who is looking for some help getting started?

Social Entrepreneurs Programme

Hello Laurence,
Lloyds Bank Social Entrepreneurs Programme is open for applications and we need your help!
Can you help us find 300 social entrepreneurs?
With an understanding of the application process, experience of SSE’s unique delivery style and a first-hand experience of what it means to be a social entrepreneur - YOU can really help us reach the right people. 
Who are we looking for?
  • Do you know an aspiring social entrepreneur who is looking for some help getting started? They could be perfect for Start Up
  • Do you know a successful social enterprise looking for support on their journey to scale? They could be perfect for Scale Up
What to tell them
As you will know, participants on the programme will receive a grant of £4,000 or £15,000, a business mentor and a fully funded place on a yearlong learning programme.
Outcomes from the programme include:
ü  The confidence to lead your social enterprise
ü  A cracking network
ü  The ability to win resources and support for your project
The details
Applications are open until 3pm on 3rd April 2014. Those interested in applying can head to the website to find out more or attend one of our taster sessions which are taking place during February and March at multiple locations across the country. 
Nice to tweet you…
Social media is a great way for us to reach new audiences and we’re asking fellows and students from the programme to tweet telling people why they should apply.
We hope this will give the truest possible portrait of what to expect from the SSE experience (and it will also be quite fun to read all your replies!)
  • Tweet it to us @SchSocEnt and we’ll retweet to our 15,000 followers
  • Use the hashtag #Applyif to join the conversation and see what others have said
  • Don’t forget the link: Please direct any interested applicants toyourideastartshere.co.uk where they can access full info on the programme
