Two Glasgow Primary Schools Develop Businesses in Partnership with the Big Issue
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates pupils from St Denis' and St Bernard's primary schools for taking part in the Social Enterprise Schools project; understands that as part of the project the young people developed their own business ideas in partnership with the Big Issue; notes that pupils from St Denis', in the East End, came up with the idea of a CFR Veggie Tin, where they plant vegetables in tins for the community; further notes that another group of pupils has been selling products relating to mindfulness and wellbeing; understands that the profits are being donated to the children's charity, "With Kids!"; notes that pupils from St Bernard's, in Nitshill, have created personalised sustainable water bottles after conducting their own market research by asking classmates if they would consider a switch from single-use bottles; understands that, like the pupils at St Denis', the children at St Bernard's are donating their profits and have chosen the environmental charity, Changeworks, and congratulates everyone involved.
