Young
people have an amazing enterprising entrepreneurial opportunity to work with RBS professionals and their
business contacts to take part in exciting workshops that explore what it takes to set up a business. They
also get to create their own business model and test it on the high
street, in real life with with real punters!
The sessions
are at TNG -Sydenham's most amazing new world-class youth centre - and
start on Tuesday September 10th, running weekly during term time until
Christmas.
A
staff team of 15 RBS professionals have purposefully created fun
interactive modules, a unique offer for Lewisham-based young people.
All the young people need
to do is apply via our website
or download the form and post it to: Melissa Knight, Sydenham and Forest Hill Youth
Forum, c/o The Here For Good Centre, 17 Sydenham Road, London SE26 5EX.
The deadline is Friday 16th August.
It's
really important that parents and adults who work with young people are signposting
them to amazing one-off opportunities like this one. Best of all, RBS
staff are prepared to create a legacy
by offering mentoring afterwards to those who wish to pursue business.
It also means trips to the City of London, something really invaluable -
knowing the City is accessible to them.
You can also support the Sydenham and Forest Hill Youth Forum by donating here.

Newsletter: Young Lewisham Project
Tucked away, quietly along Kilmorie Road there is a Youth Project that offers a variety of programmes to schools and other agencies within the Borough of Lewisham. The project has been in existence since 1974 and in its present location since 1991.
It is probably best known, at least by the young people that have been involved over the years, for being a motorcycle project but there is so much more on offer these days.
The aim of the YLP is to help young people gain confidence through achievement and to enhance their abilities through effective communication and teamwork. It provides ‘young person centred learning’ by tailoring their courses to suit the needs of the young people who take part.
The Lifeskills Programme includes carpentry, gardening, cooking, plastering, painting and decorating. There is art, design and clothes-making for after- school groups, bicycle maintenance and off-road cycle rides. And yes there is the Motorcycle Maintenance course and off-road riding training.
Over the last two years we have developed our garden and allotment which has completely transformed our project, making it a far more attractive place to work as well as giving us fresh produce.
Working with 100-150 young people each year, YLP progression routes include further education, work placements and recognition of the importance of taking personal self-responsibility. To find out more see our wonderful short video of the project http://vimeo.com/32079836 and go to our website: http://www.younglewisham.org.uk/
