Next Step Initiative

Our social enterprise program- business incubation and accelerator hub has supported over 385 Individuals, organisations, and community groups. This has been described by Fiorina Mugione, of the Chief Entrepreneurship Section, United Nations Conference for Trade and Development Geneva as ‘’the prime exemplar of diaspora impactive entrepreneurship’’. Additionally, our Inclusive Museum Heritage Project Funded by Heritage Lottery Fund as a route of employability has been recognised as a Recruitment Best Practices Model[1]. This hub continues to provide coaching, mentoring and capacity building support to African and Caribbean social enterprises, community groups and individuals across Scotland.
