UnLtd* 4iP Mentoring & Coaching Case Studies

Unleashing the energies of social

entrepreneurs

We aspire to a world where people act to make it better

UnLtd* History… UnLtd was formed in 2002 by seven leading non-profit organisations

working with social entrepreneurs both across the UK and

internationally: including Changemakers, Community Action Network

(CAN), Comic Relief, and The School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE).

UnLtd’s Awards are mainly funded by the income generated by the

£100 million endowment from the Millennium Commission, as a

permanent source of grants for individuals throughout the UK to

develop their own skills and talents, and to contribute to the

community. However some Awards are funded in partnership with

organisations such as 4iP

UnLtd* puts social entrepreneurs at the heart of everything we do: we

provide the support, the tools and the means necessary to help passionate

people turn great ideas into sustainable projects.

Our mission is to reach out and unleash the energies of people who can

transform the world in which they live. We call these people social

entrepreneurs.

UnLtd* 4iP Case Studies

Help From Home (Change the World in Just Your Pyjamas) is an initiative that

promotes and encourages people to perform micro-volunteering actions. It does

this by providing information on easy, no commitment micro-volunteering

opportunities where the majority, if not all of the action can be performed from

the comfort of a person's home. Almost all of the 500 plus actions/initiatives

listed so far on the site will cost nothing or very little to complete and take no

more than 30 minutes to accomplish. Some can even be performed in under 10

seconds without getting out of your favourite chair or pyjamas!
