Other ways to partner with UnLtd

Delivery partners

Our delivery partners help us give social entrepreneurs the support they need. They might offer expert advice to specific kinds of social entrepreneurs such as young people, have industry knowledge, or provide local expertise. They can help us reach out to social entrepreneurs in areas where we're not well connected.

Influential partners

We want to hear from those with expertise or the knowledge to help us take social entrepreneurship mainstream in the UK. We work with businesses and other specialist organisations to help us achieve this.

Pro-bono partners

Social entrepreneurs can often feel isolated or not know where to turn for advice or specific skills. Our volunteering and pro-bono partners offer their expertise through mentoring or skills sharing. Staff get to give-back, learn new skills and lighten the load for a social entrepreneur.
