Discovering hidden entrepreneurial skills within a community group was the concept behind this project. The programme was for all ages in the North East area.

This was an innovative approach to raising awareness of enterprise in the community. This was done by working with local community groups, after school clubs and associations who relied on raising their own finance to support their activities. The three sessions enabled them to develop additional fund-raising activities by tapping into their entrepreneurial ideas and skills.

The programme had 3 two hour sessions:
  • Ideas Generation
  • Choosing and Planning an Idea
  • Finalising Events

Through a 'can-do' approach, the sessions covered identifying individual skills, resources, brainstorming ideas, encouraging innovative ways of raising funding for their group, motivating others and developing both individual thinking and team work.

The sessions were adapted to suit age groups – from 7-30 years old.
