The Inclusive Entrepreneur Network

How Does It Work

The network, support programmes and virtual marketplace were created by Jacqueline Winstanley who has been working in this field for over two decades. She is a global authority, public speaker and herself an Inclusive Entrepreneur.

The community and marketplace work because it allows entrepreneurs

• To work collaboratively within a platform that celebrates excellence, difference and business growth.
• To showcase the incredible things they are doing.
• To access the business, health, wellbeing and support.

As Jacqueline says, "We are an authoritative voice on the Global Stage and that is very powerful".

You can access this incredible community by joining as an Inclusive Entrepreneur.

Membership subscriptions are annual, and once a member, you can then access the various benefits, support, events and knowledge-sharing activities that we organise on a regular basis.

Speak to us to join our community and access our packages for business, health and well being support that will help you grow personally and thrive professionally.

The following short video outlines one of our programmes and looks at the various issues and encourages everyone to consider entrepreneurship as a positive way forward.

Jacqueline Winstanley has developed the Inclusive Entrepreneur Community and the virtual market place building on the real-life network she started in 2013. Over the years, this has grown and has seen phenomenal results.

Jacquline has always had a strong sense of injustice which is matched by a practical ability to create innovative solutions. She sees the potential in everyone she meets and is able to connect in a way which switches on self-belief and faith in their aspirations. She works with people and develops strategies that they can use to hit the barriers they face head on.

In the Inclusive Entrepreneur network she is bringing personal experience, evidence-based practice and an essence of humanity to the table which creates an environment where people are supported to fly “metaphorically “.

The community is wholly aligned with meeting the 2030 Agenda and achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Sure and Swift is a member of our community. The owner joined our programme a few years ago and has benefitted from our programmes of support.

"As a member of the Inclusive Entrepreneur Community, I value both the support and the great network. Jacqueline was amazing and her assistance with the Access to Work Scheme was tremendous. She has also encouraged me to continue growing my business and to explore opportunities that I wouldn't have otherwise considered. Her insights in Inclusive Entrepreneurship, her understanding of the challenges I face as a disabled entrepreneur and her overall approach are inspiring. She understands where I am coming from and what drives me to keep on going. Through the Inclusive Entrepreneurs Community, I met with similar entrepreneurs who share my passion for cars and my determination. I am excited to see where I can take my passion, my business and my ambition with Jacqueline and the Inclusive Entrepreneur Programme!"

Entrepreneurs are considered to have vision and determination, be great leaders and innovators.

Inclusive means entrepreneurship is open and easily accessible to all. It levels the playing field and allows entrepreneurs to seek, create and participate in opportunities, especially those facing barriers to the workplace.

As an organisation, we have a commitment towards innovation within inclusive communities. Together we are creating the 2030 Agenda Paradigm Shift tasked of us in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - where communities start to see people who face barriers, not as burdens, but as contributing citizens who bring a new and exciting presence to the table.

The resultant contribution to the growth of the economy from such enterprise is what we term Inclusive Economic Growth.

Over the last few years we have been working hard at bringing this task to fruition - through the Inclusive Entrepreneur Programme we run as an organisation, and the various Calls to Action, debates and events we have held.

Founder and CEO Jacqueline Winstanley is a recognised author, speaker and contributor to academic work and thought leadership, regularly participating in UN and Windsor Consulatations, academic research and papers and business webinars. (Please click here for a detailed list of published work and public speaking events.)

As Jacqueline says, "I have a comprehensive audit trail in terms of proof of concept and outcomes dating back to 1995, influencing changes in Government policy and developing national guidelines for good practice."

During our events, we heard from #Inclusive #Entrepreneurs, launched our digital platform showcasing their businesses, and collated evidence of their journeys towards entrepreneurship.

This evidence will feed into a White Paper and other policy changing documents that support our Call to Action in respect of business support requirements going forward.

Following are a few examples of our Call to Action and recommendations to Government.
