Like many of the businesses Firstport support, they are a charity and social enterprise. For over 16 years, they have been helping budding social entrepreneurs make their ideas happen. From the start, they have offered grant funding and business advice. Over the years, they've grown and developed new services including investment readiness support and social investment products, responding to the needs of the entrepreneurs they are support.
