Fully-funded support for over 50s

Shropshire business owners aged over 50 are being invited to apply for fully-funded business support that’s dedicated specifically to them.

The Silverpreneurs programme has been created to inspire and empower the over 50s to develop the confidence, knowledge, and skills to grow their existing or early-stage business, within an experienced and supportive business community.

Delivered by the Silverpreneurs co-founders and their expert team of trainers, they will share their business knowledge, experience and networks, covering topics such as strategy and planning, sales and marketing, access to finance and funding, personal health and wellbeing, and how to get the best of networking.

The six-week course begins on Thursday January 18, but anyone unable to make that date can still register for a future cohort. The course will be held at the University Centre, Shrewsbury.

The business support is fully-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund – a central pillar of their Levelling Up agenda, providing £2.6 billion of funding for local investment by March 2025.

Whether you’ve been made redundant, want to leave corporate life, and go it alone, re-enter the workplace after caring for family, or are seeking a new or different career path, the Silverpreneurs programme has plenty to offer.

Delivered through a combination of in-person 1-2-1 and group coaching sessions, it’s a first-hand opportunity for participants to learn, develop and share their journey with others.

The programme is available to business owners aged 50+ who have a business or home postcode registered in the Shropshire Council district, excluding Telford and Wrekin.
