Enterprising ideas to transform our future: Ingenuity19 needs you!

More than 1/3 children in Nottingham live in poverty, and 5.2million women in the UK live in poverty. How could you change this?

Ingenuity19 is looking for young people (18+) from around Nottingham, with bright ideas for how we can create real, lasting social change through non-profit, scalable activity.

If you are running an organisation, or wish to start a business or social initiative that can help tackle poverty in Nottingham, we want to hear from you.

Through the Nottingham City Community Bursary, you’ll be able to enter Ingenuity19 free of charge and have access to (see the Ingenuity19 website for more details):

  • The inspirational Future Communities Summit
  • 2 ideas generation events
  • 6-week enterprise skills programme
  • 22+ keynote speakers
  • 50+ hours skills and training

Through Ingenuity19, we want to accelerate the development of your ideas, and provide you with a support network of Nottingham-based entrepreneurs, business people, charities and industry mentors who can help you build your idea.

As well as access to the main events, you will also have:

  • Lunch and refreshments at the Future Communities Summit
