What is Reaching for Gold?
Reaching for Gold is a South East competition designed to encourage innovative ideas from groups of young people that can make a practical difference to society in the areas of Youth, Community and Disability. It is designed for teams of up to ten 14-19 year olds, and is particularly targeted at those living or working with disadvantage or disability.
Each successful team of young people through to stage 2 will be supported by voluntary and corporate sector mentors, faciliated by an enabling package of prizes, to work towards an event at St George's House, Windsor Castle - one of the region's most high profile venues. We have developed a great prize package including £5,000 towards the organisation who puts forward the winning team. This will be used to support the young people to develop the winning idea further.
Reaching for Gold has been developed by SEEDA and members of the Corporate Cabinet, supported by Groundwork, The Prince's Trust and AbilityNet. The idea for Reaching for Gold comes from the regional programme ‘Create, Compete, Collaborate’ which has the aim that "Every young person born after 1983 will have the chance to Create, Compete or Collaborate with another young person in another country" between now and 2012.
