Social Enterprise Day

A big thank you to alumni for supporting our Year 12 students to learn more about social enterprises and the Circular Economy in their Social Enterprise Day.

As part of their Alleyn's Activities Week, Year 12s had the opportunity to meet Mark Ovenden (Cribb's 1992) who established The Remakery in South London - a collaborative workspace, where individuals come together to solve problems around waste and creativity. Mark gave the students a tour and introduced them to some local leaders of Social Enterprises concerned with food and fashion to begin their exploration of what we mean when we speak about Social Enterprise and the Circular Economy.

In the afternoon, the students had the chance to meet Zoe Miller (Roper's 2015) who founded BB Pads, a social enterprise with a mission to play a part in revolutionising periods through their completely plastic-free reusable pads.

Thank you for such a fascinating and engaging day and for sharing your time and expertise with our Year 12 students!
