Esteemed Friends and Colleagues I am taking part (more like ambushed) in a challenge to raise money for my team, The Submariners, who are involved with the Young Enterprise charity. I will be placed in a realistic prison cell with no food or water (Provided by the No Way Trust), and set challenges to earn time out and rewards to make my experience more realistic. During my time in the cell, I will be joined by my colleague and team member Mark Boden and will be pitted against him to raise the most money and spend as much time in the cell as possible.

We have been set a target of £100 per hour to remain in the cell, which  basically means £10 extends my detention by 6 mins.

Please give generously as your money will go to educate and provide facilitates and support for young children in schools to understand and develop their skills into how businesses should operate through "hands on" experience.

Below is a brief on the Young Enterprise Charity.

Young Enterprise is the United Kingdom's largest business and enterprise education charity. Every year we help 250,000 young people learn about business and the world of work in the classroom under the guidance of volunteers from 3,500 companies.

We believe in ''Learning by doing'

Young Enterprise's mission statement is "to inspire and equip young people to learn and succeed through enterprise." Its guiding principle is to do this through 'learning by doing.'  Our programmes range from 'Ourselves' for Primary school pupils as young as four. It takes students on an engaging story-based journey exploring the world of work, saving, earning, decision making and teamwork. They culminate in Young Enterprise's flagship Company Programme which enables 30,000 15-19 year olds run their own real companies for a year with help from business mentors. Many of the scheme's alumni have gone on to outstanding business success.
