Part of our Social Mission is to set up young people with the best entrepreneurial skills they can take forwards throughout their lives.
We’ve been running successful, in-school business enterprise challenges in Newcastle schools. The challenges develop children’s entrepreneurial skills, increase confidence, and focus on selling, pitching and smart thinking.
In 2024 our partnership with Ward Hadaway has led to Ward Hadaway being shortlisted for a People in Law Award in 2024. Fingers and toes crossed for the awards ceremony in May. Read more about this in our blog.
It is a 7-week enterprise project which ends with a dragon’s den style pitching contest (with prizes, of course).
To run our enterprise clubs and enterprise in schools in Newcastle, we have had the kind support of the corporate sector. It’s so much more than a financial donation.
If corporate teams have the capacity, they can volunteer as judges at week 7 or throughout the entire project.
