The University of Brighton is offering a new government sponsored program, https://helptogrow.campaign.gov.uk which is aimed at helping small and medium sized businesses to grow, the program is 95% funded by the government, and offers 12 x 2 hour taught sessions (mainly online), one to one mentoring, networking and working with the University to develop a growth plan for your business. I thought that this program may be of interest to some of your members/contacts, especially SME’s who are looking to grow the business.
The program is worth £7,500 per candidate and there is also an opportunity to obtain £5k worth of IT for updating the business.
