ALOT OF OUR YOUTH ON THE STREETS OF UK ARE FORCED INTO A LIFE OF CRIME/SURVIVAL BECAUSE THE DONT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL IN A LEGITIMATE MANNER. WITH THE EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS NEEDED TO MANIFACTURE CLOTHING I WILL BE ABLE TO APPOACH OUR YOUTH WITH NOT ONLY ENOCOURAGEMENT TO CHANGE THEIR LIFE BUT ALSO AN AVENUE FOR THEM TO GO DOWN. COMING FROM A CRIMINAL PAST MYSELF I KNOW THAT IF I HAD SOMEBODY LIKE MYSELF THAT COME TO ME AND WAS WILLING TO ADVISE ME AND GIVE ME A WAY TO GENERATE AN INCOME WITH OUT LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER WORRYING THAT THE POLICE WOULD COME AND TAKE AWAY ALL THE MONEY IVE WORKED FOR AND ALSO RISK LOSING MY FREEDOM I WOULD OF BEEN IN A MUCH BETTER POSITION BY TIME I REACHED MY 30S. I AIM TO RAISE THE £25,000 WITH IN THE NEXT YEAR AND GET STARTED ON CHANGING THE LIFES OF OUR YOUNG GENERATION. OFF THE BACK OF THIS I WILL BE RUNNING ENTREPRENEURIAL WORK SHOPS TO NURTURE THEIR INNER GREATNESS AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO NOT RELAPSE INTO A LIFE OF CRIME.
