Mark Norbury, Chief Executive of UnLtd, explores the dynamic world of social entrepreneurship, highlighting the organisation’s commitment to empowering leaders who are transforming their communities.
UnLtd has long championed social entrepreneurs across the UK, providing both financial and practical support to help innovative ideas flourish. Over the past five years, the organisation has seen a seismic shift in its approach and impact, driven by the challenges of the pandemic, economic inequalities, and rising demand for support in an increasingly volatile social landscape.
A key focus of the episode is the Growth Impact Fund, UnLtd’s pioneering social investment vehicle. Designed to foster equity and opportunity, the fund prioritises entrepreneurs from underrepresented backgrounds, including Black, Asian, minority ethnic, and disabled communities. This initiative reflects UnLtd’s recognition of the untapped entrepreneurial talent in these groups and its commitment to dismantling systemic barriers to access.
Mark sheds light on the evolving definition of social entrepreneurship, emphasising its core: creating financially sustainable solutions that drive meaningful social change. From supporting grassroots innovators to scaling high-impact organisations, UnLtd’s efforts encompass not only financial assistance but also wraparound support, including business mentorship, peer learning opportunities, and pro bono professional services. This holistic approach is vital for fostering sustainable growth and enabling social entrepreneurs to navigate complex challenges.
