How it Works

Motivate to Innovate is a unique 9 month action learning based programme consisting of a combination of expert witness sessions, project visits and support from our two dedicated Business Advisors. You will attend agreed study sessions pre-arranged and will meet with our Business Advisors to develop your idea.  You will achieve agreed milestones and only then will release of the start up grant funding be offered.  A residential course is part of the programme and as a Motivate to Innovate student you will be expected to attend. This is a great opportunity to meet with like minded individuals.

Motivate to Innovate programmes provide tailored support that significantly enhances social entrepreneurs effectiveness. A key outcome of this programme is substantial personal development. Former students and Fellows who have gone though the programme agree that the return is both economic e.g.. jobs and volunteering positions created and social e.g. impact on the individual, their community and the beneficiaries being served.
