Inspired 2 Connect CIC was created as a result of the devastating effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on local small businesses and enterprises. As a result, we felt we needed to provide some additional support for businesses that were isolated from mainstream services. Furthermore, we wanted to provide free and subsidized support for social enterprises who were providing front line services in response to the pandemic. Our aim is to maximise the potential of community led businesses which support and help local communities.

Our Youth Enterprise Programme aims to equip young people between the ages of 16 and 25 the tools needed to run a successful business or enterprise. We have already mentored over 10 young people, helping to create their businesses and develop the processes necessary to take their products and services to their target market.

Our community business support programme provides a range of information, advice and guidance to those businesses that do not have access to mainstream support services. These are the smallest local businesses that operate often in isolation.

We also provide a range of support services for the third sector to charities and companies who have charitable purposes. Our aim is to grow the impact they have on their communities through developing proven processes.
