Deloitte Social Innovation Pioneers aims to showcase up to 50 socially innovative businesses from across the UK and provide them with a package of support to help them mainstream, go to scale and become investment-ready.

The programme is targeted at a wide range of organisations to identify social innovation wherever it lies. The types of businesses that are likely to be successful are those that have a proven social business concept, that have an innovative idea and that are ready to take it to the next level.

If you are or know a social business that meets the criteria please apply on the programme website by the end of January.

If you want to find out more about the programme please sign up to the Deloitte newsletter or follow @DeloittePioneer.
