Our October 2020 Charity of the Month aims to promote “entrepreneurship and self economic empowerment”. Our profile explains how Basic Business Initiative UK (BBI UK) achieves its goal and talks about the good work it’s doing.
BBI UK aims to reduce unemployment in the UK
Launched in 2001, BBI UK seeks to give people the tools and resources they need to be able to use entrepreneurship to lift themselves out of poverty.
It has a clear objective: “the relief of unemployment for the benefit of the public in such ways as may be thought fit, including assistance to find employment and support to the unemployed in developing self employment opportunities”.
The UK has seen unemployment rise during 2020, with around 1.52 million people out of work between June and August alone.
