Micro-Schemes Programme

Micro-Schemes applications are currently paused. No grants, loans, seed-capital awards or business-support applications are being accepted through this page.

The programme concerns sustainable livelihoods and responsible enterprise development. Activities may include financial literacy and business management training, mentorship, savings groups, business clinics and market connections when an approved and funded programme is active. These descriptions are not an offer of funding or continuing support.

Programme scope and responsible partnerships

Potential areas include retail and trading, food and catering, fashion and tailoring, agriculture, and artisan services. Any future activity is subject to an approved programme, available resources, safeguarding and published eligibility conditions. No reopening date has been announced.

Requests submitted by email, social media or another form cannot be assessed, transferred or placed on a waiting list. Partnership enquiries do not create a funding commitment.
