GEW 2012 Awards and Celebration Evening

To round off the activities during Global Entrepreneurship Week, the Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership held a celebration evening at Staff House at the University of Hull featuring guests from the major sponsors and the Lord Mayor of Hull Councillor Danny Brown and his Lady Mayoress Lynda Brown. Guests listened and danced to the band Venus duo with their distinct brand of pop music. Amanda’s Blue Orchid provided the table decorations.

The aim of the evening was also to raise funds for the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank and the Lord Mayor’s Charity, an initiative that gives grants to young people aged 21 and under to develop their enterprising idea. Just over £1,000 was raised via a raffle as well as a secret auction for signed shirts from the city’s three professional sports clubs, Hull FC, HKR and Hull City AFC. The whole event was a perfect ending to another highly successful week of events organised by Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership for the city’s enterprising young people.
