Have you developed a social enterprise idea through your school or college? Do you know an enterprising pupil? Do you want to run your own business? Are you aged 14-25?

Regenerate has launched a bursary fund for young entrepreneurs who have shown a real flair for business.

The Pennine Lancashire Youth Enterprise Fund is a financial bursary for young people aged 14-25 who can demonstrate outstanding enterprising behaviour.

It was established to ensure that young entrepreneurs could access help and support to flourish, learn and develop business skills or knowledge and continue or expand their enterprising work.

Grants of either £1,000 or £2,000 are available, depending on age of the applicant, who can live in either Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle and Rossendale.

Money is available for a number of items including training, qualifications, educational visits, equipment, research, business start up costs and specialist materials.

The grant fund is being managed by the Community Foundation for Lancashire on behalf of Regenerate Pennine Lancashire. This is a rolling programme. The next decision making panels will take place in February, June and October 2012. Please apply at least 6 weeks before the relevant panel meeting.
