Our women's skills and wellbeing programmes work in the most disadvantaged areas of Newcastle. We help women overcome barriers relating to health, wellbeing, families and skills. The end result are women who are ready to return to work or start their entrepreneurial journey.
Our award-winning school enterprise challenges develop entrepreneurial skills, increase confidence and focus on selling, pitching and smart thinking. These programmes are a great opportunity for businesses to get involved with their local communities and improve their CSR.
We work in communities to run enterprise and business start up programmes. We work at grass roots level, supporting individuals interested in starting their own business. We support many social entrepreneurs who start their social enterprise through their lived experience.
Since we started in 2019, we have supported a total of 1,140 individuals through the work we do in schools and communities. Upstart Enterprise has supported a total of 193 individuals with effective skills and enterprise projects with 1-1 and group support in 2022.
There are lots of ways to get involved with Upstart Enterprise. You could roll up your sleeves to volunteer or take part in one of our skills or enterprise programmes. If you are a business, you could support one of our in-school business enterprise challenges, which offer way more benefits than giving a donation. Please get in touch
