If you think you have a good idea for a social enterprise, you have until 20th November to write just 750 words which could change your life, and the lives of others around you. Over six months, shortlisted entries will receive business plan development support from the Skoll Centre and other mentors, as well as hot-desking space at the Hive, Oxford. Each winning idea is eligible for up to £5,000 investment from a total pot of £15,000.
If you want advice on your idea, you can attend one of our Business Clinic sessions, or contact us directly. To enter, visit the Skoll:EMERGE website.
