Your gift pays for free, practical support for people starting a business who couldn’t otherwise afford it.
What your donation funds
- Workshop places for people on low incomes
- Training, DBS checks and support for volunteer mentors
- Printed guides, templates and online resources
- Travel and childcare costs so nobody is priced out of attending
- Outreach in areas with no other business support
We are a small charity and keep our overheads low. We publish our accounts every year so you can see exactly where the money goes.

Gift Aid
If you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid lets us claim an extra 25p from HMRC for every £1 you give, at no cost to you. Once we are registered with the Charity Commission and HMRC, we will add a Gift Aid declaration to this page.
