The Cultivating Enterprise programme offers support to community enterprises at the earliest stage of development, providing a flexible package that can be customised to meet the specific needs of development trusts and other community based organisations. Its focus is on 'pre-business support' and in ensuring that community organisations have the internal capacity to successfully embrace enterprise.

The primary benefits of the programme:

A specialist diagnostic assessment
Dedicated support from an accredited case manager
Financial support
Signposting to other sources of support and/or funding

Application to this programme has now closed.

We look forward to sharing the experiences, challenges and inspirations behind the community enterprises we have and will continue to support over the lifetime of Cultivating Enterprise.

All applications made by 23rd February 2010 will still be considered.
