What our members say

"I don't think I'd be where I am without the support of Start-up Wandsworth. I know I can run my ideas past my start-up advisers whenever I need to. They always give me good advice."

Liam Carlton

"I'm really rubbish with computers so it's great to have the IT drop in session so nearby! I can go and ask my questions without any judgement and the helpers always work with me to get it sorted."

Suzie Jones

"As a mum of two, the cost of living crisis definitely hit us hard. The financial advice sessions at Battersea Library have been a lifesaver. Now I know how to budget properly and make my money last."
