Are you planning to grow an organisation that helps people in need? Are you running or starting up a project to create social or environmental impact? 
Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland can support you through the Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland Social Entrepreneurs Programme, run in partnership with School for Social Entrepreneurs, jointly funded by Big Lottery Fund.
You’ll be helped to grow your organisation for a year, by providing:
• A learning programme
• A grant of up to £10,000
• Mentoring
• A community of people who run social and environmental projects
You will be helped at all stages: whether you have just an idea, you’re already up-and-running, or you’re ready to scale. People are welcomed from all backgrounds, including ex-offenders. You don’t need any educational qualifications.
There is no cost to you at any point.
Lloyds Bank, Bank of Scotland and Big Lottery Fund have funded every place and grant on this programme, because they are committed to supporting social entrepreneurs.
