social entrepreneurs project (sep)
The Social Entrepreneurs Project (SEP) introduces entrepreneurial skills and social awareness to the UK classroom. Given 'seed capital', pupils come up with creative business ideas, then develop commercial skills as they make it happen. All profits are donated to HOPEHIV, so pupils learn what it means to make a real difference.

We see hope in Henry, Will and Nick.
Harry McKay, Will Nelson and Nick Desclee are all 4th form students at King College Wimbledon. They took on the SEP in January 2011 as a year group. Their original idea was to hold a film night for students to turn their £10 into £100; after some complications they landed on the idea of holding a wine tasting evening for parents, concluding that this was where the true money lies! Henry spent five weeks travelling around Wimbledon village and writing endless emails to collect donations for an auction and gaining sponsorship for the event. After much hard work they managed to sell 51 tickets to the event and on the night raised a staggering total of £1,503!
“The project gave all three of us a fantastic experience, and we hope to continue fundraising in the future.”
