Primary school pupils to launch profitable business schemes to raise money for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation

Pupils from schools across the Liverpool City Region will hold football shoot-outs, toy sales and disco dance parties in an attempt to make a profit off £50 seed funding

A competition has been launched challenging primary school pupils to create their own profitable business schemes.

The 50/50 Enterprise Competition will see the Liverpool City Region's pupils compete against one another starting with £50 seed funding, and local businesses are urged to help the teams of talented children.

In previous years, students devised schemes such as cake sales, plays, pyjama days, Christmas fairs, raffles, film and Bingo nights, football shoot-outs, toy sales and disco-dance parties.

All proceeds will go to the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation - the only 海角视频 charity dedicated to preventing the disease - with this year's competition set to begin on October 7.

It will be sponsored by Parentapps, a Liverpool-based company supplying apps and websites that enable schools and nurseries to communicate with parents directly.

Trophies up for grabs at the 50/50 Enterprise Competition

Nick Hill, who’s coordinating the competition for the charity, said: “The 50/50 Enterprise Competition is a great opportunity for youngsters to show their ingenuity. If their idea is strong enough and they put in the work, there’s every chance they’ll succeed. What they choose to do is entirely up to them, providing it’s legal.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to have Parentapps as our headline sponsor. It’s a great fit, because they work closely with schools and parents, and they’re a textbook example of how to translate a simple idea into a practical solution for a real need and use that to build a thriving business."

Schools in Liverpool, St Helens, Knowsley and Halton have already signed-up to take part, and it remains open to entries from across Merseyside and Wirral.
