Ideas into Action was a three-year programme that supported people from a refugee background who live in the UK to develop their own social enterprises and non-profits.

It provided specialist support including workshops, professional coaching, business, marketing and fundraising information and skills training, as well as public-facing events. Ten refugee entrepreneurs took part in this first programme, with the cohort doubling in consecutive years.

100% of year one participants said that they would highly recommend it to others and that the programme helped them get closer to achieving their professional goals.
