Our Sowing Club Archives provides an insight into the previous courses and workshops funded through the pre-start up course for women in Lancaster and Morecambe – The Sowing Club. These courses are funded and run for women who are deemed to be socially disadvantaged due to one or more of the following circumstances.
- In low paid work
- Unwaged or unemployed
- Living on benefits
- Disabled
- Lone parent
- Leaving domestic violence
- Leaving prison
Courses looked at building skillsets, what running a business entails and the support that’s available.
Women who complete one of our Sowing Club courses often feed into the start-up course for 12 months of taught input and support from other women running businesses, to make sure that their business has the best possible chance of growing.
*Please note that self employment is not about zero hour contracts, but learning to run a sustainable business that will enable you to come off benefits and contribute to the community’s economic growth.
If you are interested in finding out more about The Sowing Club and the programmes currently running, please get in using the contact details below.
We look forward to hearing from you.
