We are a social enterprise who work with primary schools, youth & community organisations and holiday activity providers to set up ‘Junior Cookbook Enterprises’. Young entrepreneurs (or CHEFpreneurs, as we like to call them) undertake a series of tasks to create content to produce a bespoke, beautiful cookbook and project merchandise… ready to sell and raise funds for their chosen charity or good cause.
As young participants progress through the process, for each task completed they achieve online digital achievement badges – accessed through our exciting and unique personalised online platform (DIGI-space).
Cookbooks can be themed around: healthy eating; low cost meals; or traditional recipes from different cultures.
How It Works
Becoming A Junior Cookbook Enterprise
Using resources supplied by us, projects can be delivered by professionals working in a range of settings for children and young people… or by one of our Digital Badge IT project specialists.
Our young enterprise project works great as:
An extra-curricular club
An upper KS2 or lower KS3 curriculum enrichment project
A youth or holiday activity project
A whole school or community fundraising project
Enterprise Tasks / Online Digital Badges
Young participants are able to complete 20 different enterprise tasks including: Entrepreneur Membership Tasks; Branding Tasks; Market Research Tasks; Product Development Tasks; Money & Finance Tasks; Production Tasks; Marketing & Promotion Tasks. Each task is also an online digital achievement badge
Participants are also awarded Young Entrepreneur Awards and a 'You're Hired' Graduation Award on completion of the programme.
We collate all the work produced during the enterprise tasks, to create a unique cookbook. with a maximum of 20 recipes.
The Benefits For Children & Young People
Children & young people take part in a series of cross-curricular enterprise tasks, which are both fun and creatively engaging. It's a brilliant way to introduce enterprise to a younger generation.
Children & young people gain basic cooking skills, learn about sourcing ingredients and developing their own recipes.
It’s a great way to encourage children & young people to think about healthy eating, preparing meals that are low cost and experiencing foods from different cultures.
There is an opportunity for children & young people to develop their presentation skills and create a real-life pitch for business sponsorship.
Children & young people are able to actively raise funds for a charity or local good cause of their choice.
Our engaging DIGI-space platforms, personalised to each project, enables children and young people to track their achievements. Each DIGI-space also has its own blog, media gallery and online shop.
Opportunities for Business Sponsorship
Businesses are actively encouraged to sponsor cookbooks and /or individual recipe pages to further raise funds. Please get in touch to find out more about our individual business and corporate sponsorship packages.
