Get Connected Summer 2016

The sweet smell of success
Residents at Swan Lane were recently given
the opportunity to get creative and learn
business skills at the same time. As part of
an enterprise project, the young people came
up with the idea of making bath bombs.
The group has been involved in every stage of
the process, from planning the shape, colour
and scents of the bath bombs, getting stuck
in and making them, designing the logos and
packaging, right through to selling them.
GIVING SOMETHING BACK
The group has decided to donate all proceeds
from this venture to Forget Me Not Children’s
Hospice in Huddersfield, which supports
children with life shortening conditions and
their families across West Yorkshire.

THANK YOU
This project is part of an enterprise-learning
programme run by Places for People, working
in partnership with Lorna Young Foundation
and funded by the Big Lottery. The programme
supports young people in Yorkshire who are
not in education, employment or training and
helps enhance their skills, confidence and
employment prospects.
