Wray Forward: Backing Black Business 2026

Foundervine CIC
Black owned businesses make up 4% of the business population in the UK, yet they provide more than 70,000 jobs and have a turnover of almost £4.5bn, which is growing (source: Greater London Authority).
However, Black entrepreneurs are still being held back with limited access to financial support, education and opportunities (source: British Business Bank).
Community is who we are and why we are here, and it’s time to give back.
As a nationwide initiative, Wray Forward aims to support UK Black business owners across the country by improving access, promoting ownership and facilitating growth.
Wray Forward is a free programme built to change and support the foundations of our community.
