Settle - Expert Impact

Rich Grahame,

Settle

Met with Karen Lynch

Settle supports vulnerable young people moving into their first home.

Their mission is to prevent young people from being evicted and becoming homeless by equipping them with the key skills they need to live independently. They do this through support and training.

Rich explains what Settle do and describes what they want to achieve over the next 5 years in this video.

It’s hard to find someone who gets what starting up a social enterprise is like. Karen immediately understood the challenges I was grappling with and was able to offer me practical advice on where I need to focus on. She got to the crux of the matter within 20 minutes and I came out of the session with new energy and determination to take my social enterprise to the next level.
