Our goals

Build a legacy of start-up success in our region

We will strive to make sure enterprising minds of all ages are inspired as early as possible. They will learn about entrepreneurship from school and college, to university, and beyond.

Develop relevant and ambitious resources

We’ll establish resources and platforms with the aim of growing a hub of learning, inspiration and practical support. This is for all the enterprising minds who are part of our community.

Widen access to enterprise and opportunity

We want to level-up opportunities to access enterprise support. We’ll challenge and change perceptions about enterprise and entrepreneurship. We'll remove barriers to participation, and support upward mobility with the message that ‘Enterprise is for all’.

Establish a person-centred programme

Success looks and feels different to each of us. Regardless of where enterprise training takes each person we support, we want them to be able to look back and feel a sense of success and achievement. To be able to recognise and feel that the skills, confidence, belief they built with us – has made a difference to them.

Create value in the lasting relationships we build

We want schools and colleges to see, understand and act on the value that our programme can bring. We want them to take ownership of our resources and use them to inspire enterprising minds, and encourage enterprising mindsets, year-on-year. We want our work to be the catalyst for a growing enterprise movement.

Connect enterprising minds, with mentors who are real role models

We want to inspire and support every enterprising mind we reach. We want real life role models who can share stories, and help others believe in themselves. Mentors will be able to encourage and empower by telling stories of their mistakes as well as their successes.
