Programme Delivery

Following the business start-up programme, participants who had started their businesses were eligible to participate in this programme. This programme commenced just as COVID restrictions were being introduced and as a result, it was one of the first programmes to pivot to online delivery.

  4. To produce statistics which will help us plan and improve our services; so we can provide our funders with aggregated data to assist them in providing a better national service.
  5. Your data may be reviewed from time to time as part of a programme audit.
