Funding to pursue a passion

A tenant of ours successfully secured funding from our Aspiration Pot to pursue a passion for DJing.

Bella has a huge passion for music and dreamt of having an opportunity to explore this passion further with professional courses.

She came to us to set up a Personal Success Plan and had a six-month goal to complete a DJ training course, along with a long-term lifelong goal of becoming a freelance DJ.

We awarded her some Aspiration Pot funding which allowed her to complete a beginners DJ course. She loved it so much that she has decided to fund an intermediate and advance course herself to help her achieve her dream.

Bella already had her own DJ equipment, so after the first course, her Community Potential Specialist helped her set up a business and will now be linking her in with Bucks Business First to draw up a resilient business plan and get advice on business insurance.

After attending her first course session on Saturday 4th March, Bella said, "The first lesson was amazing, I feel like I learned so much in just two hours! I was so happy to receive such great feedback about perfecting some difficult skills and I can’t wait for the next lesson!"

We’re hoping that we can help her further by offering her the opportunity to showcase her talent and skills at upcoming Twenty11 events.
