The Inclusive Growth London programme is designed to support businesses based or trading in Camden, Hackney, Tower Hamlets or Westminster. It delivers scale up business support across the boroughs, with a focus on micro and small female-owned and/or disabled-owned businesses with the potential for growth. The programme aims to enhance the confidence and resilience of underrepresented business owners, helping them unlock growth opportunities.
One of the participants, El-Frida Ibrahim-Dikko, shares her experience and journey on the programme.
I joined the Inclusive Growth London programme to receive targeted support for building and expanding my hairstyling business, Fashion’sFaith. I sought expert advice, accountability and industry connections to help me establish a solid foundation for launching educational services for stylists and creating new pathways for growth.
My experience with the programme has been incredibly supportive and encouraging. The support I received was virtual, including 1-2-1 sessions with my adviser, Sophie Baker where I refined my business plans, clarified my goals and received strategic advice. I was also introduced to key platforms such as FroHub and The Stack World, which are helping me lay the groundwork for future collaborations and my visibility.
The support was delivered virtually and was highly tailored to my needs. Since starting the programme, I’ve developed stronger business planning skills, greater confidence in structuring my training offerings and a clearer strategy for industry networking. Although everything is still in development, the support has helped me make real progress towards building partnerships with salons and creating training opportunities for stylists.
