Linvoy Primus’s Young Apprentices On Their Way To Goa!
18 Jun 2010
Yesterday saw the announcement of the winners of the annual Faith & Football Social Enterprise & Business Challenge Award. Six young women, Libbie Beverley, Shannon Grogan, Georgia Somerset, Cydney Nixon, Millie Jeram and Lily O’Flynn from St. Edmunds beat outstanding competition to be crowned the overall winners of this years challenge and to ensure their seat on the flight to Goa in November 2010. Linvoy Primus, who heads up the Faith & Football charity, presented the amazed young people with their award.
“The skills that these young people displayed in running their Faith & Flame business really impressed the judges and it was their positive outlook in overcoming challenges and turning them into opportunities that helped to win the approval of the judges” Linvoy commented.
The Social Enterprise & Business Challenge encourages young people from Portsmouth Secondary Schools to form and create a business from scratch and to market and sell a product or service to raise funds for the charity’s work
This years businesses ranged from a computer based football game, buying and reselling of jewellery, a bottled water company to a grow your own marigold kits. Business Plans, Design, Marketing, Operations and Finances have all had to be managed as with any company. Faith & Football provide business mentors who encourage the skills and talents in the young people to help develop them further and to identify the skills that they can use in their adult life
The added ingredient with Faith & Football’s Social Enterprise & Business Challenge is that the profits that they raise will go to provide food, clothing and support to very young children in other countries that would otherwise be left to fend for themselves on the streets.
