Walking for young adults, & CGL

My name is Deanna Beale and I'm starting an entrepreneurial *opportunity* community enterprise on a start-up course, as a student this autumn with Edventure. Our team will be working in partnership with Shared Earth Learning (SELCo) whose mission is to grow people’s wellbeing outdoors. SELCo offer forest school sessions to more disadvantaged members of our community. They find that their members reach a crunch point at 16 years old when they are expected to get a job, go into training, or step into further education but often lack the necessary qualifications, skills & support.
Our aim is to create a real social enterprise that is a safe working/learning space for those 16-18yr olds to grow, market and sell edible produce using permaculture methods. It will involve setting up a permaculture space – polytunnel, irrigation, compost loo? And designing a business model whereby those 16-18-year-olds can go on to earn a viable income on the land.

With your donations to this cause this is just a little taste of what our Edventure Start-Up team n i are striving to achieve in 11 weeks for a lasting place for 16-18 year olds for many generations to come. It's okay to not donated, it means a lot that you had even chosen to read through this and what we hope to achieve. Thank you for you consideration and thank you to those of you who chose to donate to this non-profit cause, every little bit is deeply appreciated and will not go to waste! Together we'll achieve greatness, a brighter, greener, and fruitful future.

Connect with me by my fb story on Thursday 23rd at 5:30pm/6pm - 9:30pm/10pm to see the progress of the walk, if you'd like to share in the experience.

The project is being developed by Edventure Frome Start-up course and SELCo with support from somerset works.
