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!

We also produce some seasonal products that we sell throughout the year such as tie dye bags, bookmarks, stress balls, natural soaps and wild flower seedbombs.

Climate Action

Logierait Primary School
Primary

Three years ago we embarked on a butterfly rearing programme, to enhance the local population of threatened species. This has exceeded all expectations in our pupils in terms of performance, aptitude and continued commitment. Pupils at the school now have the expertise and experience of caring for cultures; growing larval food plants in our own polytunnel, rearing butterflies in our own “butterfly house” and have learned the fundamental skills and knowledge to construct our own equipment e.g. breeding cages, planting and transplanting, collecting wild seed.

Our social enterprise aims to train children and their parents in computer programming through designing and programming computer games and cartoons. We also provide entertainment services by hosting arcades to stage our work. This has a good chance of working because computer games and cartoons are very popular, and programming is an invaluable skill.

St. Denis' Primary School
Primary

We have decided to create and sell products to young persons without our school, as well as to members of our local community, that promote positive mental health strategies and positive emotional wellbeing. In our classroom, we focus a lot on mindfulness and want to further promote this within our school and local community. We know this will have a very good chance of working as it is part of our school aim to engage with members of our local community. We feel by raising money for the ‘With Kids’ charity we will be successful in reaching this aim at a wider level.

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.
