Wilkinson Grant Accolade for Entrepreneurial Students
Salford, December 2009
SIFE Salford (Student in Free Enterprise), the new society for entrepreneurial students of the University of Salford, has been awarded a £200 worth grant in the Wilkinson Entrepreneurship Individual Topic Competition. SIFE Salford’s young entrepreneurs’ team will destine the money towards developing the Salford’s St. Sebastian Community Centre.
The Wilkinson Hardware Stores rewarded SIFE Salford for the best fulfillment of the SIFE international criteria – creating the economic opportunity by helping others to succeed as an entrepreneur and improve an existing business.
“We are delighted that we have been awarded the Wilkinson grant, it is great news for our young team and we did not expect that award,” said Mariusz Andreasik, Vice President of SIFE Salford and Project Leader. “We are a true mixture of students representing 19 countries and over 20 different courses, but we all live here in Salford and we want to give something back from us to the local community. The money we now have will be used to develop and implement a marketing strategy for Cafe Green owned by the St. Sebastian Community Centre.”
On top of this award, the SIFE Salford team has also a chance to win further £500 and a trophy to be presented during the SIFE UK National Competition in April this year. In order to do it, students will have to prepare a report demonstrating the results achieved thanks to their community project.
SIFE Salford’s Communication Director, Lukasz Szczekala on team’s further plans: “The year 2009 is going to be a very challenging year for the society, because our team is still growing with new members and we are involved in several projects, both charity ones, as well as related to economic and teaching financial literacy”.
Along with the cooperation with the local community, the society sets its aim for this year to improve the skills of its members in order to increase their employability. To achieve that, various workshops and seminars will be organized and will cover broad business and entrepreneurial subjects.
