Citizen Click CIC launch new fund for young entrepeneurs

5 February, 2016

SEWM member, Citizen Coaching CIC, has launched a new £20,000 fund to help young people in Birmingham to start, grow and build their own social enterprise.

Citizen Coaching will help budding entrepreneurs aged 16 to 30 to discover their enterprise potential and contribute to their communities. They will share their real world business know-how with up to 20 young people in the Ladywood area.

Small grants will be awarded to kick start business ideas alongside a tailored package of expert help, networking and peer support.

“Do it For Real is one of the most exciting projects we have been involved with in our 10 years of business,” says Martin Hogg, founder and managing director of Citizen Coaching.

“The opportunity to make it easier for young social entrepreneurs to start-up and thrive is incredible.

“We want to inspire, support, resource and connect them to the dynamic social enterprise community in Birmingham.

“It really could be a life changing experience for those who are motivated and ready to do it for real.”

Do it For Real in Birmingham is open for expressions of interest from anyone aged 16-30 and living in Ladywood.
