Hull Global Entrepreneurship Week
We are delighted that Global Entrepreneurship Week will be taking place online from 8th - 12th November. It’s an exciting week with different events taking place every day, including BIPC’s Start-up Day and Cracking Ideas and MC4C patron and former BBC Apprentice, Adam Corbally will be re-issuing his challenge to businesspeople aged 16 to 29. To keep up to date with all the activities, visit our website http://www.gewhull.co.uk or follow us on Instagram and Twitter @GEW_Hull. A great week of enterprising events for all.
Hull Global Entrepreneurship Annual Awards Evening Following our highly successful Virtual Awards Evening during Global Entrepreneurship Week in 2020, we have decided again to hold this year’s event virtually (hopefully for the last time before we hope to return to our live event) The 2021 virtual Annual Awards Evening this year will be kindly hosted by C4DI on Friday 12th November 2021 via Zoom. The event will start 7.30pm and is due to finish sometime between 9pm and 9.30pm and no doubt there will be an after-party online as well. The event will again be jointly hosted by former BBC Apprentice Star and Motivational Speaker Adam Corbally and the founder of Engaging Education Ross Bennett - what could possibly go wrong? The event will feature a quiz with cash prizes, the result of the Adam Corbally Challenge, and of course food and booze (well if you bring your own) and maybe a few outtakes from previous videos. There are 12 Youth Enterprise Awards this year and they are a great way to recognise the work that goes on in Hull and the East Riding in supporting our enterprising young people. The deadline for the completed full entry forms will be 1st November 2021. If you would like a nomination form and or attend the online celebration, please contact Charles Cracknell charles.cracknell@hullcc.gov.uk Charles Cracknell, Youth Enterprise and Microbusiness Manager said " We are very grateful to C4DI for offering to host this year’s Awards Evening and I hope that if you want to attend or make a nomination you will get in touch, last year's event had 160 participants and we are hoping for even more this year, so come and find out more"

Micro Business Support I.M.M.E Media Ltd Craig Chaytor
My name is Craig Chaytor, the owner of I.M.M.E Media Ltd. A business that was created and built from the ground up from the inspiration of my daughter. My daughter's name is Imogen but her nickname is Imme, so I named the business after my daughter because she inspired me to go above and beyond to help her and others. I.M.M.E Imagine Making Memories Everywhere.
Imogen suffers with a disability called Williams Syndrome which affects her sensory and mental health. So, I created a product that combines Books and Technology together so any child or individual can use it. To help them in difficult situations by creating a virtual reality world with calming music and sensory friendly environments, all powered through a book and a smartphone. On the back of developing my video skills, we’ve gone on to create the I.M.M.E wedding package that delivers a whole new experience to bring your special day memories in virtual reality. With the help and support I've gained from my business advisor I have taken my ideas further; I would be lost without my advisor. I can’t thank her enough. Truly an amazing woman. For more information you can visit our website or follow all our social media platforms, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. For Micro Biz Support contact tracy.Sheldon@hullcc.gov.uk

Judith’s Journey
The search for appropriate premises continues. I knew it would be difficult to find premises, but I did not anticipate it to be this problematic. To find a property that is in the right location, condition, and within my budget has been very hard. I came across a property that that I was interested in, however, I was not accepted for it, I was disappointed as this was a perfect match to the type of property I am looking for. This has made it difficult to keep to my timeline as I am having to keep postponing it. If you know of a property that would be suitable for a café in Hull please get in touch with me at Judith.Meza@hullcc.gov.uk. However, in the meantime I have been applying for funding such as the Hull City Council, Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG). If I receive this funding it will go towards buying some equipment I need. I recently attended the Mental Health First Aid training and I continue to acquire more training that will become beneficial in the future. I found the training to be very interesting as this was my first time attending. I took a lot from the training such as tips on how to manage my stress and generally how to manage my mental health better, and how I can help others too.
I also got to speak with Yuguo Liu who is sponsoring my post, it was great to get advice from someone who has a wealth of experience of being an entrepreneur.

The Big 13!
The ‘Big 13’ Enterprise Skills training programme is designed to improve and develop the young people’s understanding of the skills needed to be successful in business and/or employment. We offer a variety of training sessions which encourage young people to think about the skills they already possess and how these can be beneficial in the world of work. Activities and plans around the ‘Big 13’ Enterprise Skills are engaging, challenging and enjoyable. Developing a clear understanding of the ‘Big 13’ Enterprise Skills will help young people develop their confidence and communication, challenge them, and encourage them to have aspirations that could potentially lead to becoming a more enterprising person in employment or as an entrepreneur. All group skills sessions are to be continued virtually for the safety of young people and colleagues for the foreseeable future but face to face interactions are now permitted on a one-to-one basis, this is monitored frequently through government and local authority guidance. So far, the face to face meetings have been successful because this has helped to speed up the process of supporting the young people through some of the barriers to access our help. The barriers some learners have faced are a lack of suitable home equipment, internet connection, anxiety of joining zoom or teams meetings. With the face to face meetings, learners feel more reassured.
