Our Offer?
We recognise that in the past local business support might not have reached everyone that needs it, and we’re here to change that.
Our mission is to help Abbey/Barnwell residents discover and develop their entrepreneurial talents. We will be on the ground, in the places you know in your neighbourhood – and we want to talk to you. Here’s how we can assist you:
- Engage: We meet you in familiar local spots, such as cafes and community spaces, for a ‘coffee with purpose,’ making it easy and comfortable to connect.
- Inspire: We help you clarify your goals and recognise your potential.
- Coach: We guide you through business basics and essential steps to develop your ideas, reach your target audience, and successfully launch your business.
- Connect: We link you with local mentors and a support network to help you grow your business and take it to the next level.
If you want to start a business or community project, the Abbey Start-up Programme is here to help.
I have worked with hundreds of people throughout Cambridge to start and grow businesses that make money and impact, and I’m excited to be
able to offer our proven programme of business support to the people of Abbey/Barnwell. Take the first step to change your life.’
