The John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank granted me £950 and that was enough for me to buy everything I needed to establish my business. My business is very established now with myself, one fully qualified therapist and a beauty apprentice and I am hopeful that I will soon be able to employ another beauty apprentice, all thanks to the initial support from JCYEB.

You can do this by either donating funds like young entrepreneurs and local businesses have done in the past via its Partner Scheme www. jcyebpartners.co.uk or indeed major companies like KCOM, RB and Hull City Council. With your help the Youth Enterprise Bank can support the entrepreneurs of the future within your community!

At 12-years-old I applied to the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank and was supported with a grant, which allowed me to buy a quality heat press that made a big difference to the quality and quantity of the flat items I make, like t-shirts and phone cases. If you have an idea, don’t be afraid to try it no matter how young you are and if you are aged 21 and under apply to the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank.
