Welcome to the Newcastle Enterprise Package website.
Newcastle Enterprise Package supports entrepreneurship in the most disadvantaged areas of the city.
Newcastle City Council and external delivery organisations are working together to:
- raise awareness and understanding of enterprise in disadvantaged areas of Newcastle, especially among under-represented groups
- fill the gaps in the provision of start-up and business support services in disadvantaged areas of the city
- reduce barriers the entrepreneurial individuals (especially those from disadvantaged groups) face when starting up a business
- encourage more start-ups located in the disadvantaged areas and businesses set up in other parts of the city by individuals from the disadvantages areas
- support local businesses to be more sustainable and grow, particularly within disadvantaged communities
This package is due to end on 30 September 2011. Newcastle City Council is currently carrying out a procurement exercise for the new package "Enterprising Newcastle".
