The Village SOS Competition extended deadline


 
The Village SOS competition is giving around 250 villages across the UK a share of £5.3 million to kick start a community business

The Village SOS Competition will give around 250 awards of between £10,000 and £30,000 to kick start community businesses.

We want to support inspiring business ideas that will bring people together in villages across the UK and support activities and enterprises that will tackle the challenges they face.

Entering the competition is easy - we can even accept entries from informal community groups - so click here to get started. We've extended the deadline to 20 October to give groups more time to work on their enterprising ideas.

You must be a Village SOS member to enter the competition, so if you haven't already, join here
