As part of its Office Hours support sessions, Firstport is holding an online session for organisations and individuals interested in applying to the Start It programme, taking place on Tuesday 22 September 2026, 10:30am – 11:30am, via Microsoft Teams.

The session aims to provide an opportunity to learn more about the application process and receive practical guidance before applying to the Start It programme. The session will be led by Christine Fairbairn, Firstport’s Relationship Manager, who will answer questions around eligibility requirements, application criteria, and the support available to applicants. Attendees can also raise any specific queries relating to their project or proposal, and gain a clearer understanding of what is expected during the assessment process.

This session is specifically aimed at those considering a Start It application, and who are looking for advice to help strengthen their submission.
