The Bold & Brave shop is a community hub where we work closely with young people, giving them an opportunity to research, design, ethically produce, showcase and sell their own quality products. It is also a space for young people to create products, host workshops, meet with community partners and much more! Within the Bold & Brave shop, young people are part of a work placement programme, receiving mentoring, job coaching and life skills training, whilst gaining retail and production experience. Between October 2021 and May 2023, the shop supported 30 young entrepreneurs to sell their products and hosted almost 40 young people on work experience, many of whom were not in education, employment, or training. We are working with these young people to believe they can achieve and empowering them to put this into action.
