Million Makers: The Schools Challenge
Celebrity entrepreneur James
Caan will be providing a £15 loan to each of the first 130 teams to
enter.
As a proud supporter of The Prince's Trust and
a member of the Enterprise
Fellowship, I am committed to fostering the next generation of
entrepreneurs.
"Everyone has the potential to be successful and it is so
important that we work together to dispel the myth that having the
right skills or background dictates the opportunities that are open
to young people to be a success. I am therefore very pleased to
return this year as a supporter of Million Makers: The Schools
Challenge by providing seed funding and business tips to help you
turn your £15 into much more."
I challenge you to dig deep, be creative and
find the inner-entrepreneur in order to grow that initial funding
into a figure that could rapidly improve the life of one of the
many young people whom the Prince’s Trust supports.
"In my time as Enterprise Fellow for the Trust, I have been
lucky enough to mentor Gina Moffat, one of the 40,000 young people
that The Trust helps each year. Gina overcame all the odds and set
up a successful florist business. The Prince's Trust saw her
potential and now with their investment and support, she has turned
her life around. Youi can find out more about her story here and CD-Rom under
'Inspiring Stories'.
By taking part in the Million Makers: The Schools Challenge, I
hope that young people across the country uncover their potential
and are left with the enthusiasm and ambition necessary to succeed
in business.
Thank you for supporting The Prince's Trust and good luck with
the Challenge!"
