Dragons Apprentice

🚀 And we are off. 🤔 How do you support local young talent of the future flourish?

🐲 The Dragon's Apprentice Challenge officially launched recently run by Community Action Dacorum - what a great initiative - thank you Cindy Withey 👏.

👏 What a fantastic opportunity for sixth formers from six different schools to bring their business ideas to life and raise money for local charities.

😀 I'm really excited to be a business Dragon supporting a wonderfully energetic and enthusiastic group from The Hemel Hempstead School and The Dacorum Heritage Trust and Robin Herzberg to raise money for a new heritage centre over the coming months - the group already have lots of great ideas.

🧠 The Trust has a treasure trove of historical artifacts with some amazing stories which they want to share with the public - there are over 130,000 items including #Roman artifacts from Cow Roast, #Tudor artifacts from Ashridge and valuable memorabilia from organisations like #Kodak and #Ovaltine.

🐲 Following the launch I joined my Dragon’s apprentice Hemel Hempstead school team at the Dacorum Heritage Trust storage site to see the treasure trove of historical artefacts from the local area.

💷 Over the coming months this group of sixth formers will be raising money for this charity which will contribute to creating a facility where these artefacts can be displayed to the public.

👉 The teams first event is a quiz night on 3rd Nov.

👉 If you are local and want to support - please come along.

👉 If you are local and have any prizes you’d like to offer for the raffle please get in touch.

🚀 Really looking forward to supporting this energised group raise as much as they can for this charity.
