About Spark

Spark gives organisations and individuals the opportunity to address homelessness through social enterprise. It offers funding to charities, small and medium sized businesses, social enterprises, housing associations, and local authorities. However, Spark is much more than a competition or a funding application. For the winners it's a 9 month journey to plan for growth, raise investment and to scale-up their operation.
