Social Entrepreneur Support Manager at UnLtd

Tim is a Social Entrepreneur Support Manager at UnLtd. He works as part of our Thematic team and specialises in investment readiness, health, and sporting sectors. During his time at UnLtd since 2017, he has helped to manage the Transform Ageing programme and has supported many social entrepreneurs within the sector to grow and scale their impact. He is really interested in how social entrepreneurs can work to address health inequalities and deliver preventative practices that improve quality of life and reduce pressure on public resources. Before UnLtd he worked for Brunelcare, a care charity and housing association for people in later life in Bristol, which is where he first became interested in the ageing sector. Prior to this he went to Exeter University and during his time there founded two (largely unsuccessful) social enterprises through Exeter’s Enactus programme.
