  • “You can’t have your cake and eat it.” Not true if you get involved with Baked Worthing, a social enterprise run by Lauren Roffey and currently crowdfunding for the final fit out of their soon-to-open cake café.  Sounds like an excellent idea for a social franchise…
  • Also looking for backing is ‘Cures for Ailing Organisations‘ a first aid manual for nonprofits and social enterprises.  Thanks to Merlin Matthews for bringing it to my attention.
  • Funding of up to £10,000 is available to early-stage social enterprises from the Shackleton Foundation.
  • Due to open for applications next week is the Social Incubator North Fund, which offers up to £25k interest free investment loan and a whole host of other support.  It’s open to social entrepreneurs across the East Midlands and North of England.
  • There’s still room on our Trading for Sustainability taster evening on August 14th. Trewin Restorick, Chief Executive of Global Action Plan, will be sharing his tips on achieving financial sustainability for your organisation.  Book your spot here.

 

Have a good week!
