The Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland Social Entrepreneurs Programme, in partnership with the School for Social Entrepreneurs and jointly funded by Big Lottery Fund, is now open for applications.

The programme provides entrepreneurs with financial support to start or scale up a social business, a comprehensive learning programme with the School for Social Entrepreneurs and a dedicated mentor from Lloyds Banking Group. The programme is now in its sixth year and aims to support 2,350 social entrepreneurs by 2020. A brand new funding model, Match Trading was also introduced in 2017 to encourage social entrepreneurs to grow their business through trading and increase their sustainability by incentivising them to explore new markets and diversify income streams.
