Between 2017 and 2020, we delivered the Inspiring Enterprise project. This was a free training programme that helped unemployed people develop the ideas, confidence and skills they needed to become self-employed, create a social enterprise, or move into training or employment.
The Inspiring Enterprise project was part of the Building Better Opportunities programme funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and the European Social Fund. The project aimed to bring together skills, expertise and experience to make sure that everyone received help that was right for them.
Action Hampshire worked in partnership with WSX Enterprise, Surrey Community Action, the University of Winchester and Fredericks Foundation.
During the project:
300 training sessions were delivered
96 participants attended the programme
74% of participants successfully completed the programme with a positive result
63% of participants became employed
11% of participants moved into education or training
