We design and manufacture a range of high quality up-cycled products. The majority of profits are gifted to local charities within the community. We have made countless memories, had many laughs and been to so many places outside of school just being part of BEEP Young Entrepreneurs.

We are selling seasonal drinks at our stall. We will sell different seasonal drinks for Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer. We have lots of ideas for each season but we want the children in the school to be involved to give them a choice. We have already conducted a market research survey.

Some examples of Seasonal Specials we will be selling are Chocolate Apples at Halloween, Gingerbread Men at Christmas and Easter Baskets at Easter time.

The ‘Social Hub’ will have a clothes drop, book drop, raffle, stall selling Seasonal Specials and free teas, coffees and biscuits for the community to enjoy whilst having a chat!

Our idea is to open a café which is run by the pupils of Tulliallan Primary School. It has a good chance of working because we work as a team and we all work collaboratively. We have had the kitchen facilities for a few years and we use it well.

Aberlady Primary School
Primary

2016/17 P6 and P7 classes ran a very successful silent art auction that portrayed paintings of key features from around the village. It was decided that the monies raised would be reinjected back into the community via a further social enterprise initiative. The P7’s left for high school and their suggested way forward was to have hens and sell their eggs The current P7 class took the lead role into the research of the initial idea. They came up against too many barriers and it was decided to go back to the planning stage. The pupils produced presentations to members of the wider community in a dragons den activity. The agreed way forward was to use the monies raised to purchase an outdoor oven for making and selling pizzas to the Aberlady community. Pupils researched outdoor ovens, costings and contacted the relevant departments of East Lothian Council for the initiative to go ahead – Health & Safety, Food Hygiene, Planning and Architects. The model of outdoor oven selected by the pupil was UNNI 3. The backstory to the UNNI oven fitted well as that too started as a social enterprise based on crowd funding and the founder is from Edinburgh.

We are going to make soaps and bathbombs which we will sell at school events and to the Islay Hotel for their guests. We think this will work because soaps and bathbombs are easy and quick to make and we have had good feedback on our products. The Islay Hotel has said they will support us with our enterprise by continuing to order from us and we have sold lots of our products at school events already.

Stirling High School

We started our community cafe with the aim of bringing our community closer together and adding a new space for senior students to study. Our cafe sells a delicious range of hot and cold drinks and various snacks like crisps, cakes and biscuits. We also serve high quality bean to cup coffee. This cafe also will provide an opportunity for students to volunteer and experience what working in a cafe would be like. This cafe will benefit everybody in the school and the community. Meetings and “Hot chocolate with the Head”. Which is a reward for exceptional behaviour and work. Our cafe will also be open on Saturday mornings for the public. The community cafe also sells honey produced by the bees looked after by our school bee club. You can also buy a bee calendar or adopt a bee.
