Tenner social enterprise programme for schools seeks new home
Howard Lake | 10 May 2012 | News
Tenner, the social enterprise programme for school children, is inviting expressions of interest from organisations that wish to take the programme over.
Tenner was founded by Enterprise UK in 2007 and aims to promote enterprise in schools. It is an annual competition where tens of thousands of school children across the UK are loaned a £10 note for one month and challenged to make money, make a difference and give back. Its organisers had planned to run it in March 2012 but this proved impossible.
Instead, the trustees of Enterprise UK, which are the four main UK business bodies (CBI, IoD, FSB and BCC), are “working to arrange the orderly wind down of the Charity”, but are keen for the Tenner programme to live on.
The concept of Tenner is at the heart of much good fundraising and indeed business. Successful Tenner winners could well be fundraising for charities in the years to come.
Responses to the invitation must be submitted to Bates Wells & Braithwaite by 17.00 on 15 June 2012.
