Head

Head for Business is a registered charity (charity no. 1141350) and a registered company limited by guarantee (company no. 4706074). Our mission is to provide a quality, relevant and holistic service to enable people to turn their ideas into businesses or social enterprises. We believe that to get ahead in business then you need a head for business... and this means having the right attitude. Many of our clients have suffered disadvantage from social exclusion, poverty or unemployment and, as a result, can lack confidence. We give them the skills, encouragement and support they need to raise their aspirations, take greater control of their lives and launch successful enterprises. In this way, we believe that enterprise can be a very positive model for empowering communities, combating social problems and achieving lasting positive change in society. Head for Business has now been operational for ten years and in that time we have supported more than 1,500 people of different backgrounds and ages. Many of the businesses that have been developed with our support are ones in the creative industries which are an increasingly important part of the economy.Read More
