Already running a social impact organisation in Haringey? Our Start Up programme might be better for you!

Follow-on support

After completing the part-time 12-week programme, and for the following year, you’ll receive extra support to ensure you’re getting all the tips, tricks and advice you need to get your idea off the ground.

  • Mentoring from Linklaters acting as a bridge between finishing the pre-start up programme and accessing other forms of support from SSE
  • Free access to SSE one-day workshops
  • Bespoke workshops tailored towards your needs and interests
  • Signposting to further support.

Following this, you’ll have the chance to apply to the full start-up programme made up of 14 learning sessions and six Action Learning Sets. You’ll get a 1-1 mentor from Linklaters too.

Our commitment to diversity, inclusion and accessibility

We recognise that discrimination of all sorts infiltrate every part of our society, and we are working hard to counter that wherever we find it. To that end, we actively encourage applications from people of all faiths, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, economic circumstances and backgrounds, as well as those from disabled communities. No educational qualifications are needed to join our programmes.

Reasonable adjustments regarding accessibility will be made to ensure all are welcomed onto the programme. Please get in touch – we’re happy to talk things through.
