SHE INSPIRES BUSINESS PLAYBOX LAUNCHED

The Zinthiya Trust is celebrating the successful delivery of its recent She Inspires business and enterprise programme, aimed at supporting women and encouraging women to get into business.

The She Inspires Business Playbox, which is delivered by a local consortium of expert partners led by The Zinthiya Trust, received funding from Leicester City Council as part of the Government’s Community Renewal Fund.

So far, over 100 women have been supported to access seed funding, training, workshops, networking, expert businesses coaching and employability advice.

Founder Zinthiya Ganeshpanchan said: “The running costs of retail spaces for new start-ups can be an expensive move when you’re starting out; this will provide those crucial first opportunities for retail routes to market, as well as supporting retailers with additional reasons to bring new people into their retail environments.” Part of the enterprise programme’s legacy is the need to continue to offer support to women starting out in business from September 2022 onwards.

She Inspires will continue to offer business and enterprise support as well as developing several partnerships with local retailers to offer a number of dedicated She Inspires pop-up retail spaces.

These retail locations will be made available to women starting out in business as a way of helping them get their products to market, gather market research and test the market with their business ideas.

The first location is part of a new partnership with Louchea Rose, located at 29 Loseby Lane, in the heart of Leicester.

Several individuals have taken up the opportunity to sell their products such as candles, stationary, woodcraft, jewellery and handmade ceramics from the space.
