One of Firstport’s social investment programmes is Step Up, which offers 0% interest loans from £5k to £30k to help social enterprises unlock and sustain growth. Recently, the eligibility of Step Up was expanded so that social enterprises of any age can now apply:-

  • social enterprises of any age can apply for microloans of up to £10,000.
  • new enterprises and those starting to trade can apply for loans up to £30,000.

Join on Wednesday 4th March, 10am – 11am to hear from Lauren Scott, Investment Manager at Firstport, to learn more about the funding and what Firstport are looking for in an applicant.

The session will help you:

  • Better understand if social investment, and the Step Up programme specifically, would be a good fit for your Community Transport organisation
  • Learn about the other support Firstport can offer
  • Put any questions you have directly to Firstport
