RIFT Social Enterprise

RIFT Social Enterprise believe everyone deserves the chance to build their own way forward. Too many people in the UK are held back from opportunities because of barriers like long-term unemployment, leaving care, living in supported housing, or having a conviction.

The only thing that should stand in the way of someone's future is their own desire to succeed.

Their mission is simple: to help people who have been overlooked or underestimated turn their potential into opportunity. They deliver specialist start-up support, training, and one-to-one guidance so people can launch businesses, build confidence, and take control of their futures.

Their expert and experienced Business Start-Up Advisors have collectively supported over 1000 start-ups, providing guidance, advice, and empowerment to those who have chosen self-employment as a viable and fulfilling route to financial independence.

The money they make goes back into bettering and widening their support offer, which ultimately allows them to extend their reach to support more people, and to better serve those they work with to fulfil their potential, creating long-term success in their self-employment journey.


The Quatrefoil Giving Fund has committed to 3 years of unrestricted funding to help RIFT Social Enterprise build pathways to sustainable self-employment.
