Firsport Social Innovation Challenge: Expressions of Interest Open!

19 May 2025

Firsport's Social Innovation Challenge has reopened for expressions of interest!

The Social Innovation Challenge is a grant-funding and support programme designed to support social enterprises in seeking innovative solutions to pressing social problems. They accept applications from anyone with an idea for a social enterprise project that can deliver a tangible, long-lasting, positive impact addressing the theme. This year's four themes are:

• Eradicating Child Poverty
• Growing the Economy
• Tackling the Climate Emergency
• Ensuring High Quality and Sustainable Public Services

The winner will receive a £50,000 grant and tailored support for the duration of their award to help them kick-start their solution. The other finalists will receive £25,000 each, in addition to signposting or introductions to alternative sources of funding or capacity-building programmes.
