Support for Student Entrepreneurs Gets £10,000 Boost

Support for student entrepreneurship at De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) has been given a £10,000 funding boost from The Sir Thomas White Loan Charity.

DMUworks Enterprise & Entrepreneurship, part of the university’s Student and Academic Services (SAAS) directorate, has teamed up with Sir Thomas White Loan Charity to support a series of events which aim to inspire students, graduates and staff.

The Sir Thomas White Loan Charity, which dates back to 1542, provides interest-free loans for people aged 18-45 who set up business in Leicester, Leicestershire or Rutland. It has been a long-standing supporter of DMU students and graduates but this is the largest donation it has ever made to the university.

A Bespoke Touch to Special Days

Getting married is unquestionably one of the happiest days in anyone’s life.

However, ask anybody who has attempted to organise a wedding and you’ll likely find that, whilst the wedding day itself is joyous, the stressful moments building up to it are many and frequent!

One business assisted by one of The Sir Thomas White Loan Charity’s interest-free loans is working to alleviate that stress – The English Wedding Co.

Founded by Hayley-Dawn Belcher, the Syston-based company delivers bespoke décor to provide the unique look and feel to any happy couple’s special day. However, what’s key is that The English Wedding Co. caters for those happy couples that are looking to create that bespoke aesthetic on a budget.
