Meet the Funder Scotland: Firstport

Book Now 

Join us at the next in our series of Meet the Funder sessions, this time to hear from Firstport, the first port of call for social enterprises across Scotland.

One of Firstport’s social investment programmes is Step Up, which offers 0% interest loans from £5k to £30k to help social enterprises unlock and sustain growth. Recently, the eligibility of Step Up was expanded so that social enterprises of any age can now apply:-

• social enterprises of any age can apply for microloans of up to £10,000.
• new enterprises and those starting to trade can apply for loans up to £30,000.

Join us on Wednesday 4th March, 10am – 11am to hear from Lauren Scott, Investment Manager at Firstport, to learn more about the funding and what Firstport are looking for in an applicant.

The session will help you:

• Better understand if social investment, and the Step Up programme specifically, would be a good fit for your Community Transport organisation
• Learn about the other support Firstport can offer
• Put any questions you have directly to Firstport
