West Northamptonshire Social Enterprise Towns CIC (WNSET CIC)

Grants of up to £5,000 are available NOW for organisations working in or delivering services in #Northampton. As long as your organisation is generating an income that has a positive social/ environmental benefit we may very well be able to help. This funding isn’t just for Community Interest Company (CIC) and social enterprises. Charities and limited companies can also apply. The crucial factors are: 1. That you are generating an income from the service/product you are providing. 2. That the profits you generate are being used for a positive social outcome and your articles of incorporation state this. There are two grants available so decide which one you are applying for: Start-Up (less than 2 years of trading) or Build It up (2+ years trading). Visit https://lnkd.in/eQw6ASU4 for details, support and the application form. We are here to help, so get in touch today.
