UnLtd Trust

UnLtd, a charity that supports social entrepreneurs and enterprises, has reopened its UnLtd Trust programme. The programme helps UK-based social entrepreneurs aged 16 and over to start or grow their social venture.

Two grant levels are available:

• Starting Up Awards of up to £8,000 for start-ups that are not trading yet or trading for less than a year
• Scaling Up Awards of up to £18,000 for ventures that have been operating for up to four years and are looking to grow

Funding can cover venture costs and, in some cases, living costs.

In addition to grants, participants receive tailored support including coaching, legal guidance, mentoring and workshops.

Applications are now open through the UnLtd website, where you’ll find full eligibility criteria and application details. The closing date for applications is 9 am on 1 June 2026.
