Scotmid partners with Social Enterprise Academy

Scotmid is partnering with the Social Enterprise Academy to support social change and community empowerment for young people.

The retailer is introducing the Scotmid Changemaker Fund, dedicated to supporting the Social Enterprise Schools Programme, which will provide schools within Scotmid communities the opportunity to access funding of up to £100, enabling the launch and growth of social enterprises led by young people.

The Social Enterprise Schools Programme, spearheaded by the Social Enterprise Academy, equips young people with the tools, skills, and mindset required to create lasting positive impact within their communities. With a focus on instilling social entrepreneurial spirit and sustainable business practices, the programme empowers pupils to become agents of change, leading projects that address pressing social and environmental challenges.

Richard McCready, Director at Scotmid, said: “Through the Changemaker Fund, we are proud to provide tangible support to schools within our communities, enabling them to nurture the potential of young minds and drive lasting positive change.”

Rachel Farmer, Education Manager at the Social Enterprise Academy, added: “Together, we are paving the way for a generation of socially conscious leaders who will drive change within their communities. The Scotmid Changemaker Fund is a crucial steppingstone toward unlocking the potential of young people to create positive impact.”
