HeadStart Business program

Our ambition is to establish a Gosport Centre of Business Excellence, Creativity and Entrepreneurialism.

Through its endeavours with enabling radical community transformation throughout Gosport the Gosport and Fareham Multi-Academy Trust is working in partnership with Abri Housing to enable financial, clerical and auxiliary support for local Start-Up companies within the town. Kickstarting entrepreneurialism and opportunities.

New Start-Ups are invited to submit an application for up to £2,000 bursary funding and will be invited to pitch their concept for a new business and/or Start-Up venture to a panel from the GFM, Beacon Foundation and Abri Housing. Agreements with each successful applicant will be created so that initial Start-Up funding investment is reinvested back into Gosport once the business generates a successful, agreed, turn over annually.

Together with Abri Housing we have created bespoke packages which enabled auxiliary support, work space, mentoring and coaching opportunities to facilitate, incubate and grow new business and empower our business community to thrive.

It is our ambition to support the continued Radical Community Transformation and promoting excellent business opportunities and prospects for Gosport.
