The University of Roehampton has launched a new Regional Growth voucher scheme to support collaboration on short-term projects with businesses and charities across South London.
Roehampton experts will support organisations in building their capacity and increasing their capabilities, productivity, and growth. Eligible applicants may apply for one or more vouchers worth £5,000 each.
This is a fantastic opportunity for local organisations to grow through close collaboration with Roehampton experts, developing new products/services, expanding existing services, testing new initiatives, reaching wider customer bases, accessing new markets, and exploring new business models. We are focusing on key growth areas to support our community in South London, specifically health and wellbeing, creative and cultural industries, environmental action, the built environment and business sustainability and growth.
To be eligible, all South London businesses and charities must be of sufficient size to match the investment. Application from wider London organisations can be submitted but priority will be given to local organisations.
Applications close on the 11th of December, for a January start. All projects need to be completed by 31st of March 2024. Local organisations are expected to contribute 30% match funding (e.g. £1,500 for one voucher), either in cash or in-kind.
