David Allen supports local Young Enterprise

Kirstie Somerville, Business Adviser at David Allen, yesterday had the honour of being invited to meet Caldew School’s Young Enterprise entrepreneurs.

The students had identified that there are many people in Cumbria who are struggling to feed themselves and their families – in support of this they have launched an appeal to help those most affected.

As part of their strategy they are asking for food donations and are currently collecting non-perishable food items from individuals and businesses throughout Cumbria - they will then distribute the food to those who are most vulnerable.

As part of the project they have to prepare a trade stand, develop their ideas and present their findings to a judging panel, then with Kirstie’s help they have been asked to prepare a Business Plan in support of their idea.

The students have already met with the Salvation Army and local councillors and by request will be meeting the mayor to outline their idea to him.

As a Young Enterprise Business Supporter we believe it’s important for business and education to work together. We want to inspire and help the young people of today to give them the confidence to succeed in their chosen career.

Would you like to help? If so, please bring your donation to the collection point situated in our office at Dalston.
