Allia is an organisation that creates social impact through enterprise, and its new free-to-access programme of skills, advice and support is being served on a high-quality platform.
The website has been built to bring entrepreneurs together. Budding enterprisers can sign up via the website to access the exclusive members area where they can keep up with the latest content. The website also offers a purpose-built forum where impact entrepreneurs can share their ideas and stay connected.
Serious Impact also offers an events functionality for a five-channel programme which is open to any individual or organisation that aims to provide social and environmental impact, regardless of the business model and structure.
Serious Impact will deliver support to inspire entrepreneurship, drive growth and create sustainable ventures in sectors such as AgriTech, SocialTech and CleanTech, which aim to help solve social and environmental problems from climate change to food poverty to the issues faced by our older population. It will operate from Allia’s Future Business Centres in Cambridge and Peterborough and has received £1.7m of investment.
The website showcases news and case studies of impact ventures. Since 2013 Allia has supported 400 potential entrepreneurs, start-ups and early stage social and environmental impact ventures, which in turn have created 240 new jobs. Many of these ventures are flourishing; winning awards and investment whilst also creating the impact they intended.
Zak Jacobs, Managing Director of Red Alien, says “We are delighted to have continued our work with Allia on this fantastic new venture which I know will provide really valuable support for entrepreneurs and businesses for many years to come.”
