Building for our future.
As we move into the next phase of Growth for Good SME support, we will focus on sharing knowledge, experiences, and insights from successful individuals. Community-rooted business is not just viable- it is vital. We’ve shared stories that show purpose-driven enterprises can be sustainable and impactful. Tanera Camans preserves heritage sport, while Prickly Thistle takes bold action. Highland Weigh promotes a zero-waste approach, and Kompassion Kombucha focuses on health. The message is simple: Growth done right helps everyone.
We’re now set on improving what we have with additional Growth for Good SME support.
Continuing What Works, Extending What’s Possible
We celebrate Highland businesses and others that redefine growth. These businesses focus on wellbeing, value quality, and seek a lasting legacy instead of quick profits. They are true trailblazers. Their stories inspire us and prove that growth can happen without sacrificing values. Their journeys motivate us all.
Growth for Good will boost its role as a platform for visibility, teamwork, and shared learning. Our new focus is on creating meaningful connections between people and opportunities.
Highlighting Support: Funding, Partnerships, and More
Good ideas often stall because of a lack of access. This phase of Growth for Good will focus on funding options, grants, and partnerships that promote ethical growth. We want to highlight the support that drives progress through community ownership. For example, look at the Aviemore and Glenmore Community Trust. We also see innovative wellbeing economies, like Wild-Ness Health’s collaborative model.
Growth for Good SME Support
We will share funding options, mentorship programmes, and networks that match our values.
Creating More Impact Through Connection
Our podcasts, articles, videos, and events highlight businesses making a difference. For example, Jill McAlpine at ‘inpurpose’ helps SMEs, while Iain McPhail at IDM is redefining trust. Beyond inspiration, we want action. This could mean a coffee with a mentor, an introduction to a like-minded producer, or guidance on applying for growth grants. These are a few ways that, together, we can connect to new opportunities. We’re here to find the steps to help you and your business grow.
As we often say, it’s not just about the business you build but also about the ecosystem you shape. Your role is crucial; your big or small contributions help make Growth for Good a thriving community. You are not just a part of this community; you are shaping it with your actions and ideas.
An Open Invitation
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, advisor, funder, or someone with a valuable story, Growth for Good is your space. We invite you to share your knowledge and resources. Tell us about real experience, links to support or funding that could help others. This is about amplifying the good. We want you to feel welcomed and included in this journey. Together, we can make a difference.
