BIPC Lewisham Ambassadors are a group of local entrepreneurs who have benefitted from business support during the Start Ups in London Libraries (SiLL) project, which functioned as the previous iteration of BIPC Lewisham. Ambassadors are now passing on their experience by attending networking events and panels, supporting other small business owners through their own start-up journeys, and promoting BIPC Lewisham resources to the wider public.
