Proposed Young People's Enterprise Centre

You might have seen the following article in the Leicester Mercury -
http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/pound-1-2m-expansion-Cultural-Quarter/story-16062367-detail/story.html

The article relates to The Mighty Creatives’ planning application to develop a Young People’s Enterprise Centre and mixed use creative venue in Leicester’s Cultural Quarter. This is a really exciting project for The Mighty Creatives and builds on our commitment to supporting young people in Leicester and across the East Midlands to develop their creativity through learning, leadership and enterprise.


The planning application is one important step in realising this ambitious 2-year project which is in its very early stages of development. Over the next few weeks and months we will be working with our partners in Leicester City Council and elsewhere to raise the funding for the Centre and will be applying to a range of sources to help do so. 


We are also developing a suite of support services for young people's enterprise skills - including promoting the Social Enterprise Qualification in partnership with the Real Ideas Organisation (www.realideas.org) and ongoing activity to back young people's great business ideas through our pilot programme, The Bank of TMC, with Leicester City Council and Leicestershire County Council. We will be reporting on progress with all of these activities as we go along. Look out for updates on our website (www.themightycreatives.com) and social media.


Any potential partners or funders interested in working with The Mighty Creatives on these initiatives should contact: Caroline Cooban, Development Director, The Mighty Creatives:  CarolineC@themightycreatives.com
