Yorkshire’s Young Entrepreneur Challenge​​​​​​​

A fantastic group of twelve committed Year 11 students have participated in a business project over the past eight weeks with the help of Yorkshire’s Children Charity, Leap Enterprise and a fantastic mentor called Paul from Nexus. 

Students presented their “Set The Mood” business initiative to Yorkshire’s Children’s Charity on Wednesday, November 16. 

Students used Eco Wax to create their own handcrafted wax melts and candles. Friends, family, and teachers then bought these fantastic items. They decided to produce candles because they thought it would be a creative and enjoyable method for them to work as a team to succeed together and overcome obstacles. 

In the presentation, they discussed their experience over the previous eight weeks, including their company idea, the plan they had for carrying it out, the products they were supplying and their profit, which totalled £447. This entire sum will support the Yorkshire Children’s Charity in its important work. 

Each pupil had a certain role that they could play within the project. Despite the fact that they all had different duties, they were all ideally suited to their particular personalities, allowing them to always be themselves. They all had a significant impact on how the company operated and learned how to solve complex problems. 

By taking part in this opportunity and devoting their free time to this project the students have been able to demonstrate not only that they are selfless and independent, but also that they care for others.
