Young entrepreneur, Zoe Jackson of Living the Dream Performing Arts Company, is up for prestigious business awards and needs your vote!

Zoë Jackson started her business: Living The Dream after spotting a gap in the market for affordable access to the arts, and something that was youth led. Zoë is now an Ambassador for Start-Up Loans along with 11 other young entrepreneurs. Here is Zoë’s Start-Up journey:

Is it possible to make money and be charitable at the same time? Can we make giving good for business? It is a philosophy that is close to my heart and that I have been thinking about a lot lately, because there is a new and exciting wave of philanthropy sweeping the business world.

I had never in a million years dreamt or even thought about going in to space. It was the fact that I am approaching 50 years of age that inspired me to go and become a “space cadet” and also because Richard Branson is making it possible!
