Stacey-Jade Mason, Creative Optimistic Visions, shares her social enterprise’s funding journey.

Stacey-Jade Mason formed Creative Optimistic Visions inspired by her own life experiences.

 

They took on investment for the purpose of securing a salary for two full-time members of staff and approximately 5 volunteers, in turn increasing service delivery and social impact, generating sustainable revenue from sales of services rather than reliant on grant funding. The investment supported securing an additional unit to deliver our services.

 

In this podcast, Stacey-Jade gives you an inside look into the challenges she faced when going for investment. She also shares some top tips for anybody feeling hesitant around taking on a loan.
