Ever had a ‘light bulb moment’ and wondered what to do next? Ever had an idea for a business and then put it aside for another day? Isn’t it time for you to Give it a Go?
We’re looking for bright ideas in Lancashire that can benefit our communities. And we’re ready to back the best in your district with £5k to help turn that idea into a reality. Transform your idea into the best in the county and you can win a further £20k to build on your success.
Give it a Go is a new competition to encourage teams of three or more to try their hand at developing an enterprising idea. We know that Lancashire is bustling with brilliance – we just want to help you flick the switch and make the light bulb shine. We’re looking for ideas that will make a difference to the lives of those who take part and the communities in which they live. All you need to do is... Give it a Go!
With £25k prize money for the best idea, it really is worth giving it a go. But it’s not just about the cash. Even the brightest ideas need a little help along the way. Give it a Go teams won’t be going it alone. Expert advice and support will be there for you from people in your community who really know what it takes to transform a good idea into a success story.
