HOPEHIV FOR SCHOOLS
The Social Entrepreneurs Project (SEP) introduces entrepreneurial skills and social awareness to the UK classroom. Given 'seed capital', pupils come up with creative business ideas, then develop commercial skills as they make it happen. All profits are donated to HOPEHIV, so pupils learn what it means to make a real difference.
Other ways to help
Most schools adopt a charity each term, and HOPEHIV always needs kind and generous new homes. For posters, sponsorship forms etc, check out the 'What do you need?' page, or email Catherine

We see hope in Becki.
Becki Long, now in Year 12 at Luckley-Oakfield School, first heard about the SEP when she was in Year 10. She and some friends tried various ways of turning their tenners into £100 with mixed success until they hit on the idea of making custom-designed hoodies and polo shirts. They targeted girls going on school trips and made £317 profit. In Year 11, Becki continued with the business and shrewdly expanded the market to school leavers. She increased the profit margin by switching to a local printer who, knowing the school and HOPEHIV, offered her a good discount. She made another £665, bringing her total profit to an amazing £982!
This project has given me a great experience... I hope to continue raising more money in the future.
