Since September 2016, we have pioneered Shared Enterprise Clubs, a way of supporting marginalised people to unleash their entrepreneurial potential.

Shared Enterprise Clubs engage with people who are thinking however vaguely about starting a business. They are informal and flexible. They foster a peer-support and user-led approach. Although participants learn the basics about business, the main outcomes are confidence and the entrepreneurial skills which are essential skills not only for business but for everyday life. We currently run a Club at Huntercombe Prison. We also deliver stand alone enterprise workshops, challenges and tournaments, using enterprise games which we have developed with Club participants.
