Each year UnLtd support over 600 social entrepreneurs to start, and then grow their organisations, through our awards programme. We provide a blend of funding, advice, mentoring, training and connections.

We back a handful of social ventures to get to major scale. This is through more intensive business planning support to grow, through our Ventures accelerator programmes and by offering direct investment through the UnLtd Impact Fund.

The UnLtd Impact Fund is a practical finance package for ambitious early-stage social ventures within the employability sector. Social ventures can access a blend of repayable finance, with grant funding and intensive support.
