Enterprise in Place Programme | The Melting Pot Glasgow

27 Jan 2026

Are you a woman over 50 in Glasgow with an enterprise or micro-business idea you want to explore? 

The Enterprise in Place Programme designed with Glasgow Collective is a new community-focused programme focused on developing an enterprise or micro-business, for Glasgow-based women aged 50+ who are navigating redundancy or career change. This support will be designed to help you connect with others, and to give you the support you need to move forward.

If you are outside of the 50+ age bracket, please sign-up as there may be other ways they can offer support.

This programme is for women aged 50+:

• Who might not have started but are curious about what it would involve
• Who might have some ideas that they’ve started planning or testing
• Who might have started up and want help getting to the next stage
• Who are interested in connecting and learning from other women who are developing their own enterprise or micro businesses 

The goal of the programme is to help you in the following ways: 

• Build confidence
• Gain practical business knowledge  
• Create an action plan for the next steps for growing or starting an enterprise or micro business
• Develop a strong peer network
• Bring you into the wider ecosystem of business support available in your community 

The programme will have several key elements: 

• 1:1’s with your Community Connectors (Lauren and Nicola)  
• Mentoring, signposting and help connecting with people from Glasgow Collective and beyond that will be supportive and helpful in your journey
• Peer support meet-ups
• A programme of business focussed workshops and events from January – March  
• A weekend away in March in the outdoors for those who would like to attend
• Support engaging with national and local business support opportunities
