Bright Ideas Trust
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bright Ideas Trust (BIT) is a registered charity founded by former The Apprentice winner Tim Campbell, established to help people aged 16-30 build their own businesses.
[edit] Target group
The charity was established to encourage young people, particularly from disadvantaged backgrounds, to get involved in enterprise.
It provides business support, mentoring and funding to 16-30 year olds in London who are not in employment, education or training (NEET). [1]
[edit] Charitable activities
Despite being a charity, Bright Ideas Trust does not give away grants but instead uses a commercial venture capital approach to its investments by taking equity stakes in the business and issuing loans. [2]
