Celebrating Graduation 2019

Graduation 2019

This year (on 17th October) Action Hampshire celebrates our 10th Year of the School for Social Entrepreneurs: The list of social/environmental issues that this year’s cohort of students have set up enterprises to address reads like a list of some of the most pressing issues of our time – physical and mental well being, addressing negative stereotypes including that of body image, plastic pollution, supporting young people and those in the gig economy.

They also want to run successful businesses; SSE students want people to buy from them firstly, because they have fantastic products and services and secondly, because their business supports a social or environmental cause. If you are reading this forward, please consider buying from them!

We remain grateful to Lloyds Bank for their long term financial and mentoring support. Our thanks also go to the Big Lottery Fund for the student grants; to the speakers and witnesses who have so generously given their time and experience to our students; to our now trusted team of assessors, interviewers and Action Learning Set facilitators.

My thanks to the board of Action Hampshire for continuing to believe in and to help fund this programme. As with last year, my thanks to Fiona, Alison & Fergus who make it all happen and who are completely focused on making this programme the best that it can be.

Pamber parish council were really pleased with the support provided by Action Hampshire’s Rural Housing Enabler helping us through the development process. It was a good experience.
Chris Goss, Pamber Parish Council
Action Hampshire has always been a useful font of information for us at Winchester Churches Nightshelter. Sue has always been really helpful, and I do find the updates from the ‘wider’ world to be of interest.
Michèle Price, Winchester Churches Nightshelter
Having Action Hampshire as a point of reference, support and guidance is invaluable for small to medium sized charities like ourselves. Without them, we would be far less connected and less able to serve our beneficiaries in a meaningful and coordinated way.
Juno Hollyhock, The Rose Road Association
I have found Action Hampshire to be truly innovative and forward thinking in their approach to their work and their passion for the voluntary and community sector is easily measured through their work to help improve the lives of all sections of the community.
Grant Cornwell, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Community Foundation
Action Hampshire are the most fantastic organisation and it has been a pleasure to collaborate with them. They are very positive and easy to work with, from Rachel’s warmth on the front desk all the way up to Sue’s vast knowledge and experience on the top floor.
George Scott-Welsh, IncuHive
