UnLtd Awards for Social Entrepreneurs - Supports enterprising people with solutions that change our society for the better.

Their Awards combine funding and support to help social entrepreneurs to get started or to grow. Support available depends on your stage of development:

• Starting up – you have an idea or have started to make a difference to people's lives, your community, or have ambitions to create change at a national level, up to £8,000.
• Scaling up – you are already running a social venture that is making a positive difference, and you have compelling evidence of your impact, up to £18,000.

Starting Up support can cover essential start-up and running costs, but not the applicant's own time. Scaling Up support can be used for venture costs, living costs or salary, or a combination of these.

Priority will be given to social ventures which are tackling inequality and focusing on the most marginalised communities. and those with high levels of need. Early application is recommended, as both funds will close when 650 applications have been received, or the deadline of 30 November 2026 is reached, whichever is the soonest.
