Regional support

Supporting our local communities is at the heart of what we do. We actively seek opportunities to help small businesses grow, connect, and flourish in today’s challenging landscapes.

Our staff regularly look for funding to help small businesses with training costs. When you apply for a course, our team will alert you to relevant funding, as well as provide guidance on your application and eligibility criteria.

We run events to help you network and build your connections. Events will be listed as they become available.

The scheme has been funded through the City of York via the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, the Government’s successor to the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) programme.
