Episode Details

The Social Innovation Challenge Fund is roaring back for 2026-2027, empowering under-represented entrepreneurs in Glasgow—women, ethnic minorities, disabled individuals, and those facing financial hardship—with tailored support to turn business dreams into reality. Last year’s £230k investment helped over 100 people through four winning programs. This time, the fund’s open for new groups to design their own initiatives, with 100+ organizations applying and 4 finalists selected: Collective Communities CIC’s Rolling Circle for Calton, Community Renewal Trust’s Roma Start-Ups for Govanhill, Gilded Lily’s Her Future Enterprise for Govan women, and Strange Field’s Subtle Systems for young freelancers in live events—all launching citywide. Past participants still get vital support from Business Glasgow to keep growing.
