Visit the charity's profileWith your help we are launching the Hatch Opportunities Fund to support budding entrepreneurs from our local community most in need of financial support. Hatch has already supported over 350 entrepreneurs in the last 3 years to launch and grow their businesses. Over 82% of those on our Incubator programme are still trading, creating a sustainable livelihoods (find out more here).In 2016 we began charging for all our programmes to start our own journey into financial sustainability. For our entrepreneurs this meant, looking at our support as an investment into themselves but for some, the cost was prohibitive. We started offering bursaries of up to 80% of the full course cost but still had some entrepreneurs unable to afford it.With the £3,500 Hardship Fund we will support 15 budding entrepreneurs though our Launchpad and 2 onto our dedicated Incubator Programme. Every Pound you donate to the Fund gets matched by us. Help us give entrepreneurs the support they need to launch their business.
