Great to see this new initiative supporting local business 😀

“Now more than ever, grassroots initiatives grounded in local communities can make a huge difference to the lives of young people. The Cotswold Challenge is a fantastic example of the kind of thing that needs to happen right across our country, at the moment, to give 16-18 year olds inspiration and hope. It’s been a tough old time for this age group during the pandemic and having a positive challenge to focus on could make all the difference.”

“I am a mum of a teenager and I know that inspiring challenges that align with personal interests, like the ones provided in the Cotswold Challenge, are a great way to help provide some fun inspiration and build self -esteem. Even adults have struggled with dints in their confidence and feeling of self-worth during the pandemic, believe me, it’s been even worse for teenagers. I salute the organisers for pulling this together and wish the participants the best of luck.”

Here at The Cotswold Challenge we're getting loads of great feedback from businesses/employers as to why this is an absolute no-brainer for young people starting out. Guys don't just think about it - do it! More posts to follow 😀

Looking for the next generation of talent...😀

We need your ideas and innovations to be in with a chance to win £500.
Innovation can be about making something better, and not necessarily coming up with something new. Last year our winner's made better ergonomic bird boxes, came up with a board game based on recycling, had a tick-tock following to promote clothing upcycling, and an app to help people understand country ways better. It could be an app, an item, or an idea. What would make your world better for instance? Deadline is 9pm 6th July visit thecotswoldchallenge.com
