John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank
& KC Partnership

The John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank has entered into partnership with former BBC Apprentice star Ruth Badger and Hull based  telecommunications company, KC in order to offer grants to young people aged 21 and under who have an enterprising idea, that live in Hull and the East Riding.  Priority for funding will be given to those business ideas in the information technology, communications or media sectors. Ruth Badger, Patron of Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership stated: “I wish to thank KC for agreeing to invest £20,000 a year for the next three years in Hull and East Ridings young people through the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank. There is no doubt that the area has a reputation to be proud of in supporting its enterprising young people and this investment shows that KC has bought into that success.” “As part of my commitment to support this initiative with KC  I  have offered to mentor a number of future young entrepreneurs in the City that follow in the footsteps of Bronwyn Wilson, Richard Myers, Xing Smoothies, Dave Garbera, Amanda Hartley and Force-7 who all received support from the Youth Enterprise Bank.”
