There is a huge amount of support and funding available to help in your journey to becoming a more sustainable business. However, we are currently undergoing a significant period of change across Local Enterprise Partnerships and in the funding landscape.

This page is being updated and will be relaunched as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can find a range of on-going, regional or national opportunities below. You can also contact us directly if you need support, at enquiries@swm.org.uk or on 07751 930625. We will be able to help.
