Council offers free workshop for budding entrepreneurs

The workshop for potential entrepreneurs at Lewes Football Club on Monday, March 31, is part of the Lewes District Business Start-Up Programme. This is open to anyone with a business idea and any business, including community enterprises, co-operatives and other social enterprises, that have been trading for less than 24 months.

Fully funded by Lewes District Council and delivered by 'always possible', the programme is split into three modules to help entrepreneurs at different points in their start-up journey, and businesses don't have to start at the beginning.

'Module One - Ideas to Action' is ideal for those who have an idea for a business or a side hustle but don't know where to start. The free half-day morning workshop on March 31 is followed by an afternoon of supported group work led by expert facilitators.

In Module One, participants also have access to online resources and can connect with experts and other entrepreneurs via 'always possible's' online platform, The Possibility Club.

Councillor Zoe Nicholson, Leader of Lewes District Council, said: "As part of our commitment to fostering a thriving business community, we are delighted to offer this programme to aspiring entrepreneurs who live in Lewes district.

"Last year's participants found the workshop insightful and inspiring, with many using the skills they learned there to successfully get their business idea off the ground. I encourage anyone with a business idea to register for this free workshop and take the first step towards making their dream a reality."
