In June 2019, Parliament passed a legislation requiring the government to reduce the UK’s net emissions of greenhouse gases by 100% relative to 1990 levels by 2050 to reach net zero. This led to Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council declaring a climate emergency in September 2019.

They set out their aims to achieve Net Zero within the council by 2045, and across the borough by 2045. As a response, Newable and the Barnsley Council launched the Net Zero Accelerator, an exclusive project for 36 ambitious Barnsley businesses to embark on the Net Zero journey.

The Net Zero Accelerator offered businesses free and intensive support to tackle their carbon footprint. Based in Barnsley’s Business Village, the Accelerator offered:

One-to-one coaching

Bespoke one-to-one support and advice from your dedicated business coach.

In-person workshops

Free tailored workshops to gain the latest expert insights and take action.

Peer-to-peer Networks

Opportunity to collaborate with a like-minded group of 12 inspirational business leaders in Barnsley.

The Government’s flagship business support programme Help to Grow: Management Course is set to match thousands of small firms with volunteer mentors from leading businesses as it enters its second year. The voluntary mentoring service goes live on Monday 1st August 2022 offering participants access to experienced mentors based on location, sector, and skill requirements.

What is Help to Grow: Management Course?

This flagship national programme was launched by the Government in August 2021 and offers senior leaders access to one-to-one support from a business mentor alongside 50 hours of leadership and management training across 12 weeks, with the government covering 90% of the costs involved. The training is designed and delivered by a national network of over 50 Business Schools accredited by the Small Business Charter.

The national mentoring element of the Help to Grow: Management Course is being delivered by Newable, in partnership with Enterprise Nation and the Association of Business Mentors on behalf of the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy.
