Funding for Young Entrepreneurs

Your local Community Foundation, Heart of Bucks is partnering with SWEF, a Charitable company set up by a group of entrepreneurs,  to make grants of up to £2000 available, along with advice and support from a network of experienced business professionals. The funders SWEF CIC and Heart of Bucks are committed to the principles of equity, so the priority for this fund is to support those with less advantage in their early life, who may not be able to generate funding from other sources.
