UnLtd is a charity that supports “social entrepreneurs”, offering a variety of support and sometimes funding.
It recently launched the UnLtd Engage awards programme , of which more below.
Applications close on the 30th of September 2010, and you must be located in England or Wales. Nesta (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) is already operating a similar programme called Age Unlimited in Scotland, which will re-open for new applications in 2011.
We’re not sure how relevant either programme is to the majority of people seeking to launch their own businesses to provide themselves with a sustainable livelihood. If you just want to make a crust to support yourself and your dependents you are probably not a social entrepreneur. Awards too can be problematic – they can be a diversion of effort from the finding the main thing that makes a genuine business viable – customers willing to pay for your product or service.
However, here are some details of the UnLtd Engage awards programme in case it fits in with your plans. The money on offer may not be large, but the networking opportunities could be very valuable if you want to make headway in the world of the “social entrepreneur”. See UnLtd’s Facebook page facebook.com/UnLtd for more of a flavour of what they do.
UnLtd Engage
UnLtd and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation have teamed up to encourage individuals to bring about positive change in our attitudes and approaches to getting older and to create solutions that will make a lasting difference to our ageing population.
What is available?
30 Start-Up Awards are available of up to £2,500 to get your idea off the ground.
3 Development Awards of up to £15,000 will also be offered to 3 UnLtd Engage Award Winners to grow and replicate their ideas.
What are we looking for?
Do you have an idea that could improve the social issues faced by older people in your community that falls within one or more of these themes?
* Inspiring self-belief and wellbeing (including ageing well, health & safety and keeping active)
* Making the most of opportunities (including planning for change, work and volunteering)
* Valuing shared wisdom and experience (including reducing isolation and building positive perceptions and relationships)Your project must not:
Be part of your paid employment
Involve political or religious campaigning
Involve activities outside the law or against public policy, or anything that encourages ethnic, religious or commercial disharmony
Involve employing people other than yourself to carry out most of the project work
Be used mainly to achieve academic qualifications
Be used to fund living expensesWho can apply?
We are looking particularly for applications from individuals or informal groups who are aged over 50 from England & Wales and have the passion and ideas to create social change.How do I find out more?
Go to the Engage Awards page on the UnLtd web site.
If you need more information on the Awards programme, please call 0845 850 1122 and ask to speak to a member of the UnLtd Engage team in your area or email annabelsampson@unltd.org.uk
If you have recently been made redundant in the East Midlands then 3e, a joint venture between the University of Northampton and Social Enterprise East Midlands, may be able to help. The organisation is offering a free course in conjunction with the University that leads to a Post Graduate Certificate in Management (PGCM).
The course is part-time, so it should not interfere with any out-of-work benefits you are receiving. The programme runs until March next year and you don’t have to live in any particular place to qualify – though you do need to be able to attend Northampton University (in Northampton) for the workshops.
More details of eligibility for this programme, and other help available for older people facing redundancy in the area at the 3e web site, or call 3e on 01536 527440.

3. PRIME’s new look website
———————————————————-
We’re using the summer holiday season to make improvements to our web site. So far we’ve moved to a new host, upgraded to the latest version of the content management system WordPress, and switched to a more modern site design.
http://www.primebusinessclub.com/2010/09/welcome-to-our-new-look-web-site/
We hope the brighter magazine-style layout will make everything easier to find. The transformation is almost complete, but there will still be a few glitches, so please bear with us.
For example, the forums, text-to-speech service and accessibility controls aren’t working yet. The resources area – which includes hundreds of pages of useful information is now working again, including the latest stories added yesterday. But it looks a bit of a mess as it hasn’t been styled yet to look like the rest of the site.
———————————————————
