More about our impact

The environment

Online activity reduces the need to travel. It can be difficult to replicate in-person events but improving the quality of our productions has helped us to reach nearer that experience than we would of before.

The local economy

Our podcast equipment has help us support and encourage young people starting and growing business in Kent. It has enabled us to professionalise our online activity and create much better quality presentations when we host online events and workshops.

Volunteering, jobs & education

Supporting young people in business creates self employment when employment is either not an option or a choice. Young people who want to start their own employment need all the support and encouragement that can be provided and when we deliver services online this has made a huge difference in how we present and therefore increasing our volunteer base and supporting more young people

Arts, culture & heritage

improved the quality of our online presentations

Activity, health and leisure

being a business owner can be lonely and creating quality online presentations and events has helped us to promote ours and their activities.

The Kent Foundation (KF) is a registered charity (291559) and provides free business support and mentoring to Kent’s young entrepreneurs and business owners. We recruit and train leaders from the Kent business community to become volunteer mentors who support the next generation of business owners. KF is an essential part of the business community, supporting innovative young people (18-30 years of age) to grow new enterprises, create employment opportunities, and contribute to the economic well-being of the County. Our mission is to nurture the ideas and innovation of young business owners, supporting them to make the right decisions to establish successful and sustainable businesses. By creating a thriving and supportive network for young business owners and through the expertise of our volunteer business mentors, we are able to increase their likelihood of success. Research shows that mentored start-ups grow 3.5x faster. The success of entrepreneurs, who are constantly pulled in many directions, can be amplified with the support of the right mentor who, above all, helps the founder focus and invest time wisely. In the last 12 months 150 businesses have been directly supported by one of our mentors and a recent survey says that through these businesses over £4million in sales have been created. Not only do the businesses benefit from a free mentor but we also provide masterclasses in business, networking groups and mastermind sessions where young business owners support each other in the challenges they face.
