Skills Challenge Appeal

In an exciting initiative working with Connexions Cornwall and Devon Ltd, RSA South West is seeking contributions from Fellows to a bursary fund.  We hope to raise £5000 from individual and corporate sponsorship. This will fund 10 bursaries to support young people who participate in the Skills Challenge.

Please read the attached newsletter supplement that gives details of the initiative and the social capital and economic benefits to young people it will bring. It will also test the idea that the RSA’s Opening Minds competences can be delivered through community based independent learning as well as through a schools-based curriculum.

Any contribution you feel able to make will be very warmly received, and will make a difference to the lives of a number of young people. If we are able to raise more than £5000, additional bursaries will be awarded and more young people will benefit.

Please feel free to contact me for more information and/or to discuss sponsorship options.

With very best wishes
