 School children from Torfaen have designed and made their own products to sell in Pontypool Indoor Market as part of the borough’s first primary school enterprise week, from Friday 7 – 14 July.
Pupils from George Street, Griffithstown, New Inn, Penygarn, Garnteg, Cwmffrwdoer and Blaenavon primary schools have been working with local business to design and develop their products, create a business plan, and film their own adverts.
They will be each be given a slot in Pontypool Indoor Market between Friday 7 and Friday 14 July, from 10am until 2pm, to sell their products to the public.
In the run up to enterprise week schools will be advertising their products on their social media channels, and the adverts will also be shown on www.facebook.com/PontypoolIndoorMarket
The winners will be announced at an award ceremony at the Civic Centre in Pontypool on Friday 14 July, and Limitless Trampoline Park have donated free passes for the winning school.
Councillor Alan Jones, Torfaen’s executive member for business, tourism, leisure and culture, said: “The aim of this project is to give primary school children a greater appreciation of business and improve business related skills such as design, finance, numeracy and problem solving, that will carry over into the classroom.
“We also hope to create greater links between schools, local businesses and the community.
“I would like to thank all of the schools for taking part, the business sponsors, Bron Afon, Coleg Gwent, Melin Homes, RWA Compliance, Tesco, The Best of Torfaen, Torfaen council, and Torfaen Leisure Trust, for donating money and time to support and mentor the children, and Limitless for donating the prizes.
“We have a fantastic market in Pontypool, with a huge range of goods and services on offer, and I hope that as many people as possible from the local community will turn out to give them the children their support, and rediscover the market at the same time.”
