Voluntary Action Rotherham

Income Generation Project

 We support the following to generate income through effective trading:

•  Potential Businesses or New Ideas 

•  Existing Businesses

•  Charities

•  Community Groups

•  Enterprising Individuals

The Income Generation Project is funded by ERDF and aims to create new businesses and job opportunities in Rotherham. Since the project started in April 2009 we have supported over 115 clients which has resulted in numerous businesses and jobs created for the region. 

One to one intensive support is available from our dedicated team of Community Business Coaches. We support clients on a variety of areas such as business planning, funding and marketing. Click here to find out more about available support.
