Fair share of growth fund
The Scottish Government’s Enterprise Growth Fund has just dished out almost £6million in support of new or existing social enterprises. Social enterprise is a broad church – at one end of the spectrum there are those with multi-million pound turnovers and national (sometimes global )ambitions and at the other end sits community enterprise– locally owned and led with all profits recycled for local benefit. Pleasing to see how many awards have been made at the ‘little and local’ end.

John Swinney recently announced which organisations were successful in their applications for investment from the Enterprise Growth Fund. Over 600 organisations applied to the fund but only 60 were successful. They shared a pot of £6m worth of investment to either build on existing work or to develop new ventures.
