Our mission is to create the environment in which the great social ideas of individuals
and organisations can grow, flourish and create lasting change; we do this through
coaching, helping people to focus on solutions to their challenges -
Our usual activities include:
Social Venture Support - We support people of all ages to develop ideas, helping new
and existing charities, projects, schools, community groups, individuals, and social
enterprises to start and grow. We specifically work with people living in deprived areas or who have other barriers. As part of this we also train coaches from other
organisations in community based enterprise coaching. Business Volunteering - We engage businesses to share resources, skills and time to
help develop and grow community led ideas that deliver social good, increase
opportunity and reducing inequality. Third Sector Assessment, Grant Delivery and Research. We work alongside regional
and national organisations to asses community projects, administer grants and conduct sector research. Youth Ventures - The Venturists is our youth engagement programme that gives young people the opportunity to start viable social action programmes. We specifically work in schools and communities with high levels of deprivation; using a framework that inspires young people to take action on the issues that affect them and their immediate community.
