SBT’s mission is to support high growth potential social enterprises to scale-up their impact. They do that by investing cash grants and professional support from their eight partner organisations in a carefully selected portfolio of social enterprises.
Since 2010 they have positively impacted the lives of one million people, providing £12.3 million worth of cash and in-kind assistance, including 25,000 hours of high-quality business support.
SSF is extremely proud to have had invaluable support from SBT since 2013. This has been crucial to our growth and development over the last five years.

Shakespeare North
Representing the third area of the UK, Knowsley, that has a strong historical connection with the Bard, Shakespeare North has partnered with SSF to develop our relationship with schools in and around the area.

St Catharine’s College Cambridge
SSF and St Catharine’s share a vision and commitment to bring the benefits of the study of Shakespeare to young people, focusing particularly on those who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. To fulfil this mission, we are working together to offer CPD opportunities for our network of teachers in Cambridge and the surrounding area, focusing particularly on those who serve deprived communities. Through an additional CPD day in college, teachers will explore Shakespeare’s texts with university lecturers and SSF practitioners through a powerful mixture of discussion, drama and cross-curricular planning.
Our partnership will also benefit the young people we work with through the provision of additional workshops and opportunities to visit and take part in courses at St Catharine’s College.
We look forward to offering Residential courses to both our network of teachers and young people so that they can enjoy an overnight stay on campus and two days of workshops with St Catharine’s and SSF’s highly skilled representatives.
