We took 4 businesses to London to display, sell and perform; joining the other programme partners and their clients and an invited audience of about 150.
David Skea of FishermanDirect made a brilliant presentation (in spite of being at Billingsgate Market at 5am that morning) and our clients were interviewed by Henry Bonsu for his new radio station.
Jennifer Port, harpist from Golspie, provided the entertainment, Anne Metzler of Inner Strength sold corsets, Judith MacGregor, Grantown, showed her textile designs and a good time was had by all.
Two of our new outreach volunteers, Anne MacDonald and Christie Goetz-Catto attended with Prince's Trust Rural Development Co-ordinator, Bridget Trussell. Bridget has been working with the project to develop enterprise outreach activities within the thriving youth cafe network up here.
The next stage is, hopefully, for the project partners to develop an initiative to expand and commercialise some of the outcomes from both the UK and Central European youngbusiness projects.

I'll post some photo's when we get them but here's a pic of the Highland trainees who attended WYEC's outreach training in March. (L-R) Claire (Lochinver), Caroline (Kyle of Lochalsh), Anne (Kiltarlity), Christine (Bonar Bridge) with Richard and Phil from WYEC. The four will be part of the Prince's Trust/PSYBT outreach and social enterprise programme.
