Congratulations to us! We are delighted to announce that we have successfully graduated from Aster Housing‘s Aster Foundation social enterprise incubator, the inc. programme.

Having been accepted to the programme as one of a small number of social enterprises and ‘businesses for good’ across the country back in December 2023, the ten month programme has provided us with support, advice and guidance on a range of key subjects to help grow our business and maximise our social impact.

Our Directors, Lucy and Karen have been lucky enough to engage throughout the programme with two amazing Business Mentors – Javan Bramhall, Managing Director of midlands based digital marketing and web agency, Digital Glue and Kamini Chauhan, a marketing specialist for charities and social impact organisations.

As well as the ongoing support of these regular mentoring session, the programme has provided a great range of opportunities to engage with other social entrepreneurs across the country in the inc. community and educational resources made available through regular webinars and 1-2-1 meetings with the programme team.

“Working with Karen and Lucy has been fantastic. They have listened and taken advice, but also brought their own unique style and perspective, which is what makes their business so successful. I’m excited to see what they go on to achieve.”

To give our thanks to Aster for their support, we were delighted to gift a pro bono online ‘lunch and learn’ webinar, made available for Aster colleagues throughout the business.

Having now graduated from the Aster inc. programme, Positive About Inclusion joins an alumni of over 40 social impact organisations who will continue to stay connected to the Aster Foundation and our fellow social entrepreneurs.
