Do you have a business case to prevent or tackle homelessness? Spark is an innovative project to build and inspire social enterprise to prevent and tackle homelessness. Its aim is to provide finance and coaching to support the growth of social enterprise in the homelessness sector. Social enterprise offers an alternative to dependency on grants and donations, which offer little long term security for their organisations or for the homeless people they serve. Apply today to win Spark has a prize fund of £500,000 provided by Communities and Local Government to invest in organisations preventing or tackling homelessness. Successful applicants can also win mentoring, an enterprise ‘makeover’ and potential investment of up to £500,000 from Big Issue Invest. Read more about the prizes here. Spark aims to grow the number and the capacity of social enterprises in the sector to support more homeless people to move towards independent living, through training and employment.
