Youth STEM 2030 Backed by Firstport
We’re pleased to announce that towards the end of last year, Youth STEM 2030 was awarded funding by social enterprise start-up agency Firstport!
Our Founder & CEO, Mhairi McCann, was one of fifteen social entrepreneurs to be awarded a share of £75,000 in funding from the Scottish Government’s Social Entrepreneurs Fund, which is delivered by Firstport.
The £5,000 ‘Start It’ award allows social entrepreneurs to get their ideas off the ground, and awardees are recognised by an independent panel as not only having a business idea that addresses a social, environmental, and/or community issue, but as also being the right person to make the idea happen.
