Event description

Enterprise Activity

Throughout the week (30th April - 4th May) year 10 students are taking on the £5 challenge. In groups they have to design a mini business and turn their £5 into as much profit as possible in just one week.
We are looking to invite business leaders to join us for part of the week to come and inspire the young people and support them with their business plan, give them advice and guidance on how to run a mini business. There will be different elements to their projects including:
Business plan
Finance and budgeting
Advertising and marketing
Evaluation

There are 2 opportunities within the week when your support would be welcome:
Tuesday 1st May 8.30-11.00 (breakfast provided)
Thursday 3rd May 12.30-3.00pm (lunch provided)
I really hope that you'll be able to join us and support the young people with their Enterprise Activity.
