Evaluation of the South of Scotland Enterprise Pathways Programme for Under-Represented Groups

Phase 2 of the Pathways Pilot Programme ran from July 2025 to 31 March 2026, building on the success of Phase 1 to continue supporting women and other under-represented groups in their entrepreneurial journey and business growth.  The Programme continued to provide support through place‑based coaching with the addition of growth and innovation coaching for clients identified to benefit from more focused support in these areas.  The Concept Fund offered grants of up to £1,000 and specialist support was provided by Women’s Enterprise Scotland and Volunteering Matters to enhance accessibility.
