European Regional Development Fund

As a founding partner of One Blackpool, Social Enterprise Solutions were able to match their proportion of their allocated TLI funding with Social Enterprise Lancashire Network (SELNET) and an ERDF Start Up Lancashire initiative during 2013/4. This collaboration brought match funding to the European Regional Development Fund provision for “Business start-up support in disadvantaged communities and for groups under‐represented in enterprise” and Social Enterprise Solutions focused on supporting those groups in Blackpool that experience barriers to starting a business or are in the early stages of growing a business.
