Derby and District Law Society sponsored the Debating Award at the Enterprise for Education Awards Event 2019. DDLS are keen to continue to support the initiative of the Derby City Schools Competition which is now entering its third successful year.
The following is taken from a letter of thanks from Arshad Iqbal of E4E
“Thank you so much for sponsoring the Enterprise for Education Awards Event 2019. Your support enabled us to celebrate the many young people making huge advancements in their lives and overcoming a range of barriers, and also recognise the industry volunteers and good practice in schools that directly support these young people.
The event itself, held on 2nd July, was a huge success and would not have been possible without your support. Feedback from pupils, parents, employers and school staff has been overwhelmingly positive with many suggesting that we should do more to celebrate the achievements of young people, help them overcome adversity and further raise aspirations of our local young people. In recognition of this, E4E Board members are already discussing plans to turn this into an annual awards event.
On behalf of all at E4E, please accept our many thanks for helping raise aspirations of local young people and celebrate their successes.”
