UnLtd
UnLtd, the Foundation for Social Entrepreneurs, are the leading provider of support to UK social entrepreneurs and offer the largest such network in the world. UnLtd resources over 1,000 individuals each year through its core Awards programme and supports tens of thousands more via direct engagement and partnership awards initiatives.
UnLtd operates a unique model by investing directly in individuals and offering a complete package of resources; from funding between £500 and £15,000 to ongoing advice, networking and practical support.
UnLtd and the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) have joined forces to launch an awards scheme to promote and recognise social entrepreneurship activity in higher education (HE). Through the HE Social Entrepreneurship Awards scheme, higher education institutions (HEIs) are being encouraged to develop their enterprise skills in supporting activities that have a social purpose (for example: the environment, healthcare, education, social cohesion, fair trade and micro-finance).
The scheme will provide staff and students with support and funding for enterprising new ventures. The Awards will be provided as a grant with applications across an 18-month period underpinned by an investment of nearly £1 million through HEFCE's Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF).
