The Enterprise Programme
The Entrepreneurship Project
Our Young Entrepreneurship project was delivered in partnership with Virgin Money’ s‘ Make £ 5 Grow’ programme. We worked with local schools who produced items to sell at our Christmas market on 18th November. This was a great event to kick start our Christmas period with 186 children taking part and raising a profit of over £ 1000 between them!
The Employability Project
Our Employability Programme is available for any school or youth group. We provide activities for your young people to inspire and encourage them to start thinking about the world of work. We work in partnership with Barclays Life Skills to deliver a wholesome day long programme within The Garden.
The Work Experience Project
Our Work Experience project has seen an influx of applications this year- this is great news for The Alnwick Garden. It gives our departments the opportunity to mentor young, enthusiastic individuals, to nurture the skills they already have, develop new skills and increase their confidence. We have some great news to come towards the end of the year, with the possibility of our first apprenticeship on our maintenance team, due to the mentoring through our Work Experience Programme.
If you are a teacher or run a youth group, and would like any more information on any of these projects, please call Toni Dunn on 01665 511377 or email toni. dunn @ alnwickgarden. com
