Wolf’s Den aims to support unemployed young people into self-employment.
Young people will work with a business advisor to develop an entrepreneurial idea and business plan to demonstrate the viability of their idea. They will then enter Wolf’s Den to pitch their idea to a panel of ‘Wolves’, made up of YMCA senior staff and local business owners.
The 10 most viable and innovative ideas will be awarded £500 to support the start of their business (e.g. by buying essential equipment such as cleaning or decorating equipment). They will be supported by a Business Advisor and signposted to additional services across the city and matched with a business mentor in their chosen field.
Those not successful in receiving funding will still receive business advice and support to access alternative funding sources relevant to their business idea.
