  2. CONGRATULATIONS:

    Government announces Youth Enterprise Loan in 2012 Budget!

  3. Yesterday, after several months of hard campaigning from Virgin Media Pioneers and the National Youth Enterprise Working Group, the Government has turned Pioneers' Youth Investment Fund hopes into a reality and announced a £10m Youth Enterprise Loan. 

    Pioneers and supporters took to Twitter to share their excitement as Chancellor George Osbourne announced the start of the Youth Enterprise Loan, stating: “Young people get a loan to go to University or College. Now we want to help them get a loan to start their own business.”
