What our participants say

Sally Bennett

RESTART participant

"After a period of being furloughed, I became unemployed in August 2020. I decided to use the time constructively, and am now in the process of setting up my own e-commerce venture. I’ve found RESTART invaluable in developing my knowledge and understanding of how to set up and run my own business."

Celia Middleton

RESTART participant

“The RESTART programme has helped me identify a new direction for my writing and given me the tools to progress effectively. The tutor support is beyond expectation.”

Victoria Walters

RESTART participant

"I completed the Entrepreneurship module and it has provided a great insight into the reality and demands of starting a business. After being made redundant due to Covid-19, the course has kept me positive and engaged, enabling me to connect with others with similar ambitions and giving structure to my week."
