with the Learning and Skills Council (LSE) London Central, the Department for Education
and Skills (DfES) Innovation Unit and the National Endowment for Science, Technology and
the Arts (NESTA) to promote and support the development of social enterprises at school
and college locations.
Young Cooperatives

Members of young co-operatives gain practical business experience, learn to work as part of a
democratic team and, by selling only fairly traded products, make a direct difference to some
of the world's poorest producers and their families. We offer four different packages together
with an accredited certificate, all designed to help school students to run their own fair trade
co-operative business and all designed to comply with the new school food standards.
