Big Ideas Wales is committed to supporting young people in overcoming challenges and becoming self-employed. Through the Young Person’s Start Up Grant, available until 2025, the initiative helps individuals aged 16-29 who are not in education, employment, or training, to start their own business or become freelancers or social entrepreneurs in Wales. The grant offers up to £2,000 to assist with the launch of a business, paired with comprehensive support, including one-to-one advice, webinars, and tailored business planning sessions. The support is designed in phases, allowing young people to progress at their own pace, whether they need intensive help to get started or longer-term guidance to refine their business ideas. With personalized advice, Big Ideas Wales ensures that each individual receives the right level of support to maximize their chances of success.
