"Through a blend of in-person one-on-one and group coaching sessions, participants will have the chance to learn, grow, and share their journey with fellow entrepreneurs. This isn’t just a programme – it’s a community where everyone supports each other."

Recent attendee Helen Pugh said: "Silverpreneurs has been an absolute game-changer for me. As someone in the 50+ age bracket, it was great to come across a programme that not only provided valuable resources but also understood the unique challenges and opportunities that come with age and experience in entrepreneurship.” 

Silverpreneurs has also launched its Alumni Community. This network includes regular events and networking opportunities, ensuring that the friendships and connections made during the programme continue to flourish long after the course ends.
