INNOVATION AND GENEROSITY | The incredible students at University of the West of Scotland Sport Management and Enterprise Module took on our Tenner to Tons entrepreneurial challenge to take £10 and turn it into much more using creative and commercial means.

Every group in this cohort rose to the challenge, the winning group set up a car wash enterprise: offering cleaning for vehicle exteriors and interiors and really considered their social impact, branding themselves as a social enterprise. Overall the students raised an incredible £941 taking their total over the past 3 years to £3011 to help us on our mission to transform young lives through sport. Which is truly amazing!
