Enterprise in Place: Glasgow
Are you a woman over 50 in Glasgow with an enterprise or micro-business idea you want to explore?
We know that midlife women are under-represented in enterprise. We also know there are many women out there who – with the right support – could make the leap into the next chapter.
We’ve got some funding to deliver a community-focused programme with Glasgow Collective on developing an enterprise or micro-business, for Glasgow-based women aged 50+ who are navigating redundancy or career change.
We understand that starting and growing a business can be tough and lonely. This support will be designed to help you connect with others, and to give you the support you need to move forward.
If you are outside of the 50+ age bracket, please sign-up anyway as there may be other ways we can offer support.
Meet your Community Connectors
At the centre of the programme will be the people who will support and connect you with a network of amazing women. Meet Lauren from Glasgow Collective.
